چکیده
This paper presents preliminary results for the application of DMOC to multibody systems. DMOC is a technique that produces optimal control histories for boundary value problems directly from a discretized Lagrange-D'Alembert principle, and therefore does not require the equations of motion to be explicitly known. This work will be used to develop a methodology for rapidly predicting the performance of a spacecraft with a chosen configuration of momentum exchange devices. By utilizing this methodology for many different configurations, it will be possible to develop a standard methodology for the evaluation of the performance of spacecraft attitude control systems with respect to the size, mass, and power requirements of the control system.

Variational collision integrators in forward dynamics and optimal control
The numerical simulation of multibody dynamics often involves constraints of various forms. First of all, we present a structure preserving integrator for mechanical systems with holonomic (bilateral) and unilateral contact constraints, the latter being in the form of a non-penetration condition. The scheme is based on a discrete variant of Hamilton’s principle in which both the discrete trajec...
متن کاملDiscrete Mechanics and Optimal Control for Constrained Systems (DMOCC)
The equations of motion of a controlled mechanical system subject to holonomic constraints may be formulated in terms of the states and controls by applying a constrained version of the Lagrange-d’Alembert principle. This paper derives a structure preserving scheme for the optimal control of such systems using, as one of the key ingredients, a discrete analogue of that principle. This property ...

The optimal control of a mechanical system is of crucial importance in many application areas. Typical examples are the determination of a time-minimal path in vehicle dynamics, a minimal energy trajectory in space mission design, or optimal motion sequences in robotics and biomechanics. In most cases, some sort of discretization of the original, infinite-dimensional optimization problem has to...
متن کاملMultibody System Dynamics: Roots and Perspectives
The paper reviews the roots, the state-of-the-art and perspectives of multibody system dynamics. Some historical remarks show that multibody system dynamics is based on classical mechanics and its engineering applications ranging from mechanisms, gyroscopes, satellites and robots to biomechanics. The state-of-the-art in rigid multibody systems is presented with reference to textbooks and procee...
متن کاملBiomechanical optimal control of human arm motion
As both ordinary and well-trained human motion is mostly planned and controlled unconsciously by the central nervous system (CNS), human control mechanisms remain relatively obscure. Despite, they are an interesting topic, for example, with regard to improve protheses or athletic motion. To learn and understand more about the control of human motion, we use rigid multibody systems to represent ...
