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.

In this paper we present the linearized equations of motion for a bicycle as a benchmark. The results obtained by pencil-and-paper and two programs are compared. The bicycle model we consider here consists of four rigid bodies, viz. a rear frame, a front frame being the front fork and handlebar assembly, a rear wheel and a front wheel, which are connected by revolute joints. The contact between the knife-edge wheels and the flat level surface is modelled by holonomic constraints in the normal direction and by non-holonomic constraints in the longitudinal and lateral direction. The rider is rigidly attached to the rear frame with hands free from the handlebar. This system has three degrees of freedom, the roll, the steer, and the forward speed. For the benchmark we consider the linearized equations for small perturbations of the upright steady forward motion. The entries of the matrices of these equations form the basis for comparison. Three diffrent kinds of methods to obtain the results are compared : pencil-and-paper, the numeric multibody dynamics program SPACAR, and the symbolic software system Auto Sim. Because the results of the three methods are the same within the machine round-off error, we assume that the results are correct and can be used as a bicycle dynamics benchmark.

Super computers has been utilized to carry out vehicle dynamics in real time. This research propose an implicit integra-tion method for vehicle state variables. Newton chord method is empolyed to solve the equations of motion and con-straints. The equations of motion and constraints are formulated such that the Jacobian matrix for Newton chord method is needed to be computed only once for a dynamic analysis. Numerical experiments showed that the Jacobian matrix generat-ed at the initial time could have been utilized for the Newton chord iterations throughout simulations under various driving conditions. Convergence analysis of Newton chord method with the proposed Jacobian updating method is carried out. The proposed algorithm yielded accurate solutions for a prototype vehicle multibody model in realtime on a 400 MHz PC compatible.

This paper deals with dynamic walking and inverse dynamic analysis of the IWR biped walking robot. The system has nine bodies of the multibody dynamics. and all of the .joints of them are made up of the revolute joints at first. The problem of redundant constraint in double support phase is solved by changing the type of the joints considering kinematic relation. To make sure of its dynamic walking, the movement of balancing weight is determined by which satisfies not only the condition of ZMP by applying the principle of D'Alembert but also the contact condition of the ground. The modeling of IWR and dynamic walking are realized using DADS.

The equations of motion of two-wheeled vehicles, e.g. bicycles or motorcycles, are developed by using Lagrange's equations for quasi-coordinates. The pure rolling constraints between the ground and the two wheels are considered in the dynamical equations of the system. For each wheel, two nonholonomic and two holonomic constraints are introduced in a set of differential-algebraic equations (DAE). The constraint Jacobian matrix is obtained by collecting all the constraint equations and converting them into the velocity form. Equilibrium, an algorithm for searching for equilibrium points of two-wheeled vehicles and the associated problems are discussed. Formulae for calculating the radii of curvatures of ground-wheel contact paths and the reference point are also given.

This paper develops a sequential updating method of the Euler parameter generalized coordinates for the machine kinematics and dynamics, The Newton's method is slightly modified so as to utilize the Jacobian matrix with respect to the virtual rotation instead of this with repect to the Euler parameters. An intermediate variable is introduced and the modified Newton's method solves for the variable first. Relational equation of the intermediate variable is then solved for the Euler parameters. The solution process is carried out efficiently by symoblic inversion of the relational equation of the intermediate variable and the iteration equation of the Euler parameter normalization constraint. The proposed method is applied to a kinematic and dynamic analysis with the Generalized Coordinate Partitioning method. Covergence analysis is performed to guarantee the local convergence of the proposed method. To demonstrate the validity and practicalism of the proposed method, kinematic analysis of a motion base system and dynamic analysis of a vehicle are carried out.

In this paper, the combined system equation of motion, which can analyze the dynamic interaction between pantograph and catenary system, is derived by adopting absolute nodal coordinates and rigid body coordinates. The analysis results are compared with real experiment data from test running of Korean high-speed train (HSR 350x). In addition, a computation method for the dynamic stress of contact wire is presented using the derived system equation of motion. This method might be good example and significant in that the structural and multibody dynamics model can be unified into one numerical system.

When the contribution of lightweight components to the total energy of a system is small, tole inertia effects are sometimes ignored by replacing them to massless links. For example, a revolute-spherical massless link generates two kinematic constraint equations between adjacent bodies and allows four relative degrees of freedom. In this paper, to implement a massless link systematically in a computer program using the velocity transformation technique, the velocity transformation matrix of massless links is derived and numerically implemented. The velocity transformation matrix for a revolute-spherical massless link and a revolute-universal massless link are appeared as a 6$\times$4 matrix and a 6$\times$3 matrix, respectively. A massless link model in a suspension composite joint transmitting external forces is also developed and the numerical efficiency of the proposed model is compared to a conventional multibody model. For a massless link transmitting external forces, forces acting on links are resolved and transmitted to the attached points with a quasi-static assumption. Numerical examples are presented to verify the formulation.

This paper deals with dynamic characteristics of the experimental magnetic levitation vehicle employing LSM(Linear Synchronous Motor) for propulsion. To predict the dynamic characteristics of the system, the dynamic model which is composed of the electrical elements such as electromagnets and LSM and mechanical components and is developed based on multibody dynamics is developed. The resulting system equations of motion for the model are a coupled one representing all the mechanical and electrical parts. To verify the dynamic model of the system, air gaps are measured in both running tests and simulation, and the frequency characteristics of air gaps are analyzed. From the results, it can be seen that the frequency responses are almost the same. Finally, to evaluate the levitation stability and the designed controller, numerical simulations are carried out.

철도차량의 휠의 마모는 주로 곡선 주행 시 발생한다. 휠의 형상 변화는 차량 동적 안정성에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 곡선 주행 시 휠 마모 특성 분석을 위해 곡선 반경 크기와 속도를 변경시키면서 휠 마모량을 계산하였다. 다물체 동역학 해석에 기초한 차량 동역학 해석결과로부터 마모인자를 계산하고 BRR(British Rail Research)에서 제시한 마모 모델을 이용하여 휠의 마모량을 계산하였다. 반경 300m에서의 마모량이 다른 반경과 비교하여 매우 큰 것으로 나타났다. 곡선 선로에 윤활유를 도유하는 경우 마모 특성 변화를 분석하기 위해 휠의 답면과 플랜지 부위의 마찰계수를 다르게 하여 휠 마모량을 계산하였다. 도유 시 휠 마모의 개선 효과를 여러 반경에서 계산하고 실제 도시철도구간에서 마모 개선 효과를 확인하였다.
