This paper presents an effective method to analyze the dynamic characteristics for the shilling transients of power transmission system using the multibody dynamics, which is composed of subsystem equation, subsystem assemble, and the self-determining technique for the system degree of freedom. Using the advantages of multibody dynamics, the proposed method can be used easily for mathematical models of mechanical systems, such as a power transmission, compared with newtonian method. With this theory, dynamic simulation program was developed. The program can be used to verify system performances, transient phenomena, and other dynamic problems. The simulation of a target system was presented, and its validity was attained by being compared with the previous analysis using newtonian method.

Interest in advanced vehicles results in correspondingly increased interest in modeling and simulation of the dynamic behavior of Maglev-type vehicle systems. DADS is a program especially suited for the analysis of multibody mechanical systems. This paper demonstrates the application of DADS to the dynamic modeling and simulation of such advanced vehicles. A brief description is made of the modeling requirements of magnetically levitated systems, along with a summary of some of the related capabilities of DADS. As a case study, an analysis of a vehicle based on the UTM01 system is presented. This paper shows that the presented modeling technique is applicable to the dynamic characteristics evaluation and control law design of Maglev- type vehicles.

To improve passenger safety, seat belt systems with pre-tensioner that tightens seat belt webbing using explosive just before collision are widely used these days. Even though seatbelt must not unlatched without passengers' operation. explosive power of pre-tensioner can cause unlocking of a buckle. To prevent the unlocking, an anti-g mass that blocks displacement of the release button has been attached to the buckle. In this study, the dynamics and statics of locking mechanism associated with operation of anti-g buckle has been theoretically investigated, and important design variables that affect the operation of anti-g buckle have been identified. Through the total seat belt system's dynamic simulation using force and displacement inputs obtained from seat belt sled test, design of the proposed anti-g buckle has been validated.

The media transport in automatic office machines such as printers, ATMs, copying machines is achieved by a complicated belt system. The system generally uses a crowning roller and belt which has been well-known for its intrinsic belt centering advantage during its operation. Since the modern office machines require precise high operating speed, stabilization of media transporting system has been one of the important issues of the machine design. Even a minor defect of the belt or the roller in the transport system directly affects its operating stability. This paper delivers a simulation technique that combines a multi-body dynamics analysis routine and a FEM based flexible continuum modeling for the efficient simulation of the flexible media transport problems.

As functional requirements of automatic office machines like printers, Automatic Tellex Machines(ATMs), copying machines are on a trend for the higher speed and precision, extensive technical advances are being developed and implemented in the industry. Media transport system is a device to convey a sheet of paper in ATMs and printers. The stability of media transport system is a matter of concern as their operating throughput rapidly increases. And defects of belts or rollers in a transport system directly affect the level of stability of the system. Therefore an automatic diagnostic system for predicting various defects is necessary for the stable operation of the media transport system. A simulation based on multi-body dynamics has been done for a feasibility study of a system design for the defect anticipation.

Basic constraint equations derived from orthogonality conditions between a pair of body-fixed vectors and a body-fixed vector or a vector between two bodies are reformulated by using relative coordinate kinematics between two adjacent reference frames. Arithmetic numbers of operations required to compute derivatives of the constraint equations are drastically reduced. A mixed formulation of relative and cartesian coordinates is developed to further simplify derivatives of the constraints. Advantages and disadvantages of the new formulation are discussed. Possible singularity problem of para llelism constraints is resolved by introducing an extra generalized coordinate. Kinematic analysis of a McPherson strut suspension system are carried out to illustrate use and efficiency of the new formulation.

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.

This paper presents the main method to analyze the dynamic characteristics of power transmission system using the multi-body dynamics, which is based on the concept of subsystem equation, subsystem assembling, and the self-determination technique for the system degree of freedom. We can model the mechanical components of power transmission system easily with the advantage of multi-body dynamics. Based on the theory, a dynamic simulation program was developed to analyze system performances, transient phenomena, and other dynamic problems. The driving performance of automatic transmission was simulated with using the multi-body dynamics and Newtonian method, and the validity of program was proved by comparing the two kinds of result.

In order to find out relationship between hit probability and gun firing of a moving tank, a turret and flexible gun system model has been developed using the recursive flexible multibody dynamics. For a firing simulation model, nodal coordinates for a finite element model of a flexible gun have been employed to include traverse loads to the gun tube due to moving bullet and ballistic pressure. Modal coordinates are also used to represent the motion induced gun vibration before a firing occurs. An efficient switching technique from modal equations to nodal equations has been introduced for an entire gun firing simulation with rotating turret.

This paper proposes an adaptive RRT (Rapidly-exploring Random Tree) for path planning of high DOF multibody robotic system. For an efficient path planning in high-dimensional configuration space, the proposed algorithm adaptively selects the robot bodies depending on the complexity of path planning. Then, the RRT grows only using the DOFs corresponding with the selected bodies. Since the RRT is extended in the configuration space with adaptive dimensionality, the RRT can grow in the lower dimensional configuration space. Thus the adaptive RRT method executes a faster path planning and smaller DOF for a robot. We implement our algorithm for path planning of 19 DOF robot, AMIRO. The results from our simulations show that the adaptive RRT-based path planner is more efficient than the basic RRT-based path planner.
