This paper presents a bond graph model of the 3-CRS parallel robot and the associated simulations. The structural and modular approach proposed with bond graph permits the systematic modeling of mechatronic multibody ...

The formulation of constrained system dynamics using coordinate projection onto a subspace locally tangent to the constraint manifold is revisited using the QR factorization of the constraint Jacobian matrix to extract a ...

This work deals with the analysis of the dynamic response of a counterbalance forklift truck prototype when performing standard verification maneuvers, defined by the manufacturer’s testing protocols. The research aims at ...

For magnetic levitation transport systems with pillared tracks, detailed simulation models of the coupled system of vehicle and guideway offer a valuable contribution to find a tradeoff between stiff/heavy guideway elements, ...

This paper presents the research of a hexapod robot as it movement along a defined path. Firstly, the performance of the robot product architecture is presented and a mathematical kinematic model of the robot is derived ...

The simulation of beams with sliding joints is of interest for many different applications such as aerial runways or pantograph-catenary systems. However, classical discretization with Lagrangian finite elements cannot ...

Various types of seismic protection devices has been developed to protect structures like bridges from collapse during an earthquake event, such as hydraulic or metallic hysteresis dampers and spherical pendulum bearings. ...

Inverse Kinematics Analysis (IKA) is a powerful tool to study mechanical and biological systems, since it can be used to adjust the position and orientation of each segment of the model to the experimental data, enabling ...

The focus of this work is on optimal control in redundant coordinates with a special attention to the boundary constraints that arise in this context. Due to the similarity of the optimization problem of optimal control ...
