The paper shows that the attitude vector expression for the rod can decrease the difficulty of derivation and expression of the dynamics model. Variation theory can package the closed-loop pose–attitude constraint in the dynamics model, so the constraint does not need to be considered explicitly. Using the geometry modelling method to build the dynamics model of a four-bar mechanism can avoid the repetitive operation of the closed-loop constraint.

In this paper, a sliding-mode observer is combined with the voltage model of the motor to construct a closed-loop estimation of the flux linkage so that the influence of external disturbances on the system can be compensated for by the algorithm itself. On the one hand, this improves the anti-interference ability of the system. On the other hand, it also makes the calculation of flux linkage more accurate under an inaccurate initial position.

A pedestrian motion fusion model is constructed to predict pedestrian trajectory by the fusion of a Markov model and an improved social force model with a multiple linear regression algorithm. The parameters in the model are calibrated by the maximum likelihood estimation method.

Automatic lane-change maneuvers and obstacle-avoidance systems can effectively reduce the incidence of vehicle collision accidents. However, the trajectory-tracking accuracy and response speed will be affected by both external and internal factors. To solve the above problems, a control strategy is proposed. The strategy proposed in this work can not only effectively improve the trajectory tracking performance under road excitation but also significantly improve the ride comfort.

The helical gear system is an important form of transmission in high-speed trains. The wear fault parameters of a bending-torsion-shaft coupling mode with six degrees of freedom are established. Using the variable step fourth-order Runge-Kutta numerical integration method, the gear dynamics model with fault parameters is analyzed to get the dynamic response of the helical gear system. The periodic motion and so on with variable fault parameters are analyzed qualitatively based on the results.

For launching satellite, with the needs of mobility and rapid-responsibility, the vehicle is used for launching. The system inevitably undergoes random vibrations caused by uneven ground excitation, while the camera and other high-precision payloads of the satellite cannot withstand the harsh mechanical environment without isolators. Due to the superior damping properties of MR, this paper designs the simple MR components and provides a feasible design method to absorb vibrations.

This paper studies the effect of the tower dynamics upon the wind turbine model by using mixed sets of coordinates within multibody system approach. The dynamics of wind turbine model is presented based on the floating frame of reference formulation. The mixed coordinates consists of three sets: Cartesian, elastic, and reduced-order modal coordinates for low speed components. Experimental validation has been carried out successfully, and the model can be utilized for design process.

During the mode experiments of the FCRM, we find that the mode characteristics of the FCRM change with the different tip mass. As the direct drive source of the FCRM, the output of the motor also have great influences on the dynamic characteristics of the FCRM. Thus, the nonlinear modelling and dynamic stability of a FCRM with base disturbance and terminal load are analyzed in this paper. During the analysis process, the methods of mechanism modeling and numerical calculation are adopted.

The mixing system of a certain type of concrete mixing truck is studied.A mathematical method for calculating the dynamic performance of the mixing drum is established.Results show that with the increase of rotating speed, the vibration amplitude of the mixing drum decreases.The peak amplitude moves to the right with the inclination angle increasing.The maximum unbalanced response amplitude increases with the decrease of concrete liquid level height,and the vibration peak moves to the left.

Our work mainly focuses on the dynamic modeling of a piezoelectric actuator (PA) in the impact drive mechanism in the case of the in-pipe inspection application. The novel model we have developed is able to capture the inertia of the PA and the feature of this model is its computational efficiency with reasonable accuracy. This study has concluded that the inertia of the PA in such a robot can significantly affect the accuracy of the entire model of IDM.

This paper provides a comprehensive review of the literature regarding the modelling and control of piezoelectric inertial-friction actuators (PIFAs). A general architecture of PIFA is proposed first to facilitate the analysis and classification of the literature. In addition, the paper presents the future directions in modelling and control of PIFAs for further improvement of their performance.
