This paper presents a new method for calculating contact position and contact force. The proposed method calculates accurate contact position by introducing intermediate parameters. Accurate contac t force can be obtained by solving reduced equations of motion iteratively. This method can be applied to calculate not only contact force on contact points but also contact force on kinematic joints such as a rotational joint and a translational joint. Four numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

The free-wing tilt-body aircraft is researched in the flight performance characteristics for center of gravity (CG) change. All of speed, body tilt angle and center of gravity change are simulated to determine the flight envelope by a non-linear 3-DOF mathematical model. In flight, this aircraft configuration changes by the tiltable empennage. Then, flight dynamics distinguishes from those of a conventional fixed-wing aircraft. Though flight performance and trimmability are studied by CG change, the flight model of free-wing tilt-body aircraft is to reduce the hidden risk and to achieve the successful flight test. It is analyzed the flight characteristics by CG change that distinguishes free-wing tilt-body aircraft from the conventional aircraft.

In this study, 3-dimensional linear and non-linear vehicle models are proposed to improve ride quality. The simulations of a vehicle passing over a bump were performed with those two vehicle models. The dynamic responses of the models were analyzed in time-domain and frequency-domain. Then, discomforts in each vibration axis and the combined-axes were evaluated based on the vibrations of the proposed models. The actual vehicle test results in time domain and frequency domain. Also, the discomfort values were compared. Then the validity of those two models were verified. Also, the design parameters of the suspension system are proposed for improving the ride quality.

The lightweight and compact actuator with high power is required to perform motion with multiple degrees of freedom. To reduce the size and inertia of a robot manipulator, the mechanical transmission system is used. The shape memory alloy(SMA) is similar to the muscle-tendon-bone network of a human hand. However, there are some drawback and nonlinearity, such as the hysteresis and the stress dependence. In this paper, the design of the underactuated robot hand is studied. The 3-finger dexterous hand is driven by the SMA actuator using segmental mechanism. This digital approach enables to overcome the nonlinearity of SMA wire. The translational displacement of SMA actuator required to bend a phalanx of the underactuated robot hand is estimated and the bending angle of the underactuated robot hand according to input displacement of SMA actuator is predicted by the multi-body dynamic analysis.

In this paper, the application of object-oriented Data Model to develop a multibody dynamic system, called O-DYN, is introduced. Mechanical components, such as bodies, joints, forces are modeled as objects which have data and method by using object-oriented modeling methodology. O-DYN, a dynamic analysis system, based on the object-oriented modeling concept is made in C++. One example is analyzed through the O-DYN, It is expected that the analysis program or individual module constructed in this paper would be useful for mechanical engineers in predicting the dynamic responses of multibody systems and developing an analysis program

In multibody dynamic analysis including contact and impact, there are two major analysis methods, i.e., piecewise analysis and continuous analysis. Modeling of contact phenomena is mainly classified with a Kelvin-Voigt model or a model of Hertz contact model. In this paper, a contact module fur AutoDyn7 program was developed and implemented. Both the Kelvin-Voigt model and a model of Hertz contact law were developed. The process of this module is composed of contact distinction and the contact force calculation. Two examples were verified and compared to the commercial program DADS.

This paper presents the method to eliminate the constraint reaction in the Lagrange multiplier form equation of motion by using a generalized coordinate driveder from the velocity constraint equation. This method introduces a matrix method by considering the m dimensional space spanned by the rows of the constraint jacobian matrix. The orthogonal vectors defining the constraint manifold are projected to null vectors by the tangential vectors defined on the constraint manifold. Therefore the orthogonal projection matrix is defined by the tangential vectors. For correcting the generalized position coordinate, the optimization problem is formulated. And this correction process is analyzed by the quasi Newton method. Finally this method is verified through 3 dimensional vehicle model.

The contact pressure distribution between a rubber wiper blade and a glass windshield is a major factor for wiping performance. A modeling and simulation method has been developed to forecast the contact pressure distribution on a wiper blade. For modeling multi-body dynamics of an wiper linkage system and flexible nature of wiper blade, ADAMS and ADAMS/flex are employed. A simulation study has been also conducted to obtain contact pressure distribution. Comparison between simulation and measurement is provided to ensure fidelity of the model and the simulation method.

Multibody dynamics formulation has been developed based on relative cartesian coordinates for subsystem analysis. Relative cartesian coordinates are defined with respect to a reference body of a subsystem. Relative cartesian formulation inherits the same merits of absolute cartesian formulation, such as generality and easy implementation. Two methods have been applied. One is Largrange Multiplier Elimination method and the other is independent coordinate method. A 1/4 car simulation has been carried out to verify the formulations. Since both methods provide identical results, it proves the validity of the formulation.

When a store is launched, the umbilical plug should be separated from the launcher without any physical interference and fragments. In order to satisfy these conditions, an umbilical plug and an umbilical separating device were designed. The plug is separated from the receptacle of the store while moving along inclined planes by the store thrust and the spring force connected from the launcher to the plug. As a result of the prototype test, the hanger on the store collided with the plug. Several tests were conducted after some actions were taken to prevent the collision. However, not only the same phenomenon was repeated, but also fragmentation occurred. In this study, the non-colliding conditions were analyzed through rigid and flexible multi-body dynamics analysis.
