This paper extends the multi-body dynamics modelling strategy for rigid gears to include compliant gear bodies in multi-mesh transmissions. Only external, fixed center, helical or spur gears are considered. This formulation combines distributed gear mesh stiffness and gear blank compliance models in a multi-body dynamics framework resulting in a set of non-linear differential equations with tim...

In vehicle systems occupational drivers might expose themselves to vibration for a long time. This may cause illness of the spine such as chronic lumbago or low back pain. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the influence of vibration to the spinal column and to make up appropriate guidelines or counter plans. In ISO2631-1 or ISO2631-5 assessment of vibration effects to human in the view of ...

ESP can help the road vehicle to improve driving dynamics and prevent accidents which result from loss of control. Based on the theory and account method of Multi-body System Dynamics, the Multi-body System Dynamics model of an A-class car is built by the ADAMS/Car software, which includes steering system, front and rear suspension, braking system, body, and so on. In order to study the handlin...

Many real time processes have complex, uncertain and nonlinear dynamics. Boilers are nonlinear, time varying, multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems, whose states generally vary with operating conditions. The major problem in controlling that system is that its drum water pressure and steam flow dynamics include an integrator that results a critically stable behavior. Conventional controller p...

the continuum based approaches don’t provide the correct physics in atomic scales. on the other hand, the molecular based approaches are limited by the length and simulated process time. as an attractive alternative, this paper proposes the fixed interfacial multiscale method (fimm) for computationally and mathematically efficient modeling of solid structures. the approach is applicable to mult...

Joint moment is one of the most important factors in human gait analysis. It can be calculated using multi body dynamics but might not be straight forward. This study had two main purposes; firstly, to develop a generic multi-dimensional wavelet neural network (WNN) as a real-time surrogate model to calculate lower extremity joint moments and compare with those determined by multi body dynamics...
