On the Use of Impulsive Bilateral Constraints to Characterize Topology Transitions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Topology transitions occur often during the functioning of a number of mechanical systems. An approach is presented for the dynamic analysis of topology transitions. This relies on the use of impulsive bilateral constraints. The method has been successfully applied for the analysis of the heel strike in bipedal locomotion, and for the study of impacts using an experimental robotic device.

Analysis of Topology Changes in Multibody Systems
Mechanical systems with time-varying topology appear frequently in natural or human-made artificial systems. The nature of topology transitions is a key characteristic in the functioning of such systems. In this paper, a concept to decouple kinematic and kinetic quantities at the time of topology transition is used. This approach is based on the use of impulsive bilateral constraints and it is ...
متن کاملDynamics of Non-ideal Topology Transitions in Multibody Mechanical Systems
Mechanical systems with time-varying topology appear frequently in various applications. In this paper, topology changes that can be modeled by means of bilateral impulsive constraints are analyzed. We present a concept to project kinematic and kinetic quantities to two mutually orthogonal subspaces of the tangent space of the mechanical system. This can be used to obtain decoupled formulations...

The Isogeometric Analysis (IA) is utilized for structural topology optimization considering minimization of weight and local stress constraints. For this purpose, material density of the structure is assumed as a continuous function throughout the design domain and approximated using the Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) basis functions. Control points of the density surface are...

متن کاملSome topologies on the space of quasi-multipliers
Assume that $A$ is a Banach algebra. We define the $beta-$topology and the $gamma-$topology on the space $QM_{el}(A^{*})$ of all bounded extended left quasi-multipliers of $A^{*}.$ We establish further properties of $(QM_{el}(A^{*}),gamma)$ when $A$ is a $C^{*}-$algebra. In particular, we characterize the $gamma-$dual of $QM_{el}(A^{*})$ and prove that $(QM_{el}(A^{*}),gamma)^{*},$...
