Physics-based multibody simulations have a wide range of applications. In order to be capable of analyzing complex problem formulations, e.g. the motion of the human skeleton, joints are a necessary requirement for multibody simulation frameworks. The major focus of this thesis lies on the development and implementation of a general scheme to integrate joint motion constraints into the pe frame...

We study the symmetries of generalized spacetimes and corresponding phase spaces defined by Jordan algebras of degree three. The generic Jordan family of formally real Jordan algebras of degree three describe extensions of the Minkowskian spacetimes by an extra ”dilatonic” coordinate, whose rotation, Lorentz and conformal groups are SO(d−1), SO(d−1, 1)×SO(1, 1) and SO(d, 2)×SO(2, 1), respective...

This paper deals with conceptual study of unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) during voltage sag and swell on the power distribution network and researches profoundly on the coordinated control of UPQC (Unified Power Quality Conditioner). By analyzing the radical reasons of coupling effect between UPQC series unit and shunt unit, a simple and practical coordinated control strategy for UPQC...
