Real-time Multibody Analysis of Wind-tunnel Rotorcraft Models for Virtual Experiment Purposes
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work is focused on the implementation of a general multibody analysis framework for the real-time simulation of complex systems. It is applied to the modeling of the Semi-Articulated Soft-InPlane (SASIP) rotor recently installed and tested on the Wing and Rotor Aeroelastic Testing System (WRATS) at NASA Langley. The aim is to obtain a detailed, yet efficient virtual experiment, based on state of the art multibody analysis capabilities and low cost, off the shelf hardware, to predict the behavior of an aeroelastic rotor model and its interaction with a real wind-tunnel experimental setup.

متن کاملA Real-time Hardware-in-the-loop Simulator for Robotics Applications
This paper presents an application to robotics modeling of the multibody free software MBDyn in its real-time variant. Real-time simulation of robots is usually carried on using dedicated software because of the stringent requirements in terms of solution time for each time step. The real-time variant of the general-purpose multibody simulation software MBDyn originated from the need to share a...
