The discrete null space method for constrained mechanical systems in nonlinear structural and multibody dynamics

Corresponding to d'Alemberts principle in classical mechanics, the discrete null space method developed in [1] provides an energy-momentum conserving time stepping scheme for conservative finite-dimensional dynamical systems subject to constraints. The elimination of the Lagrange multipliers from the temporal discrete system leads to a reduced number of unknowns and to an improved condition number during the iterative solution of the nonlinear system. External and internal constraints are fulfilled likewise at the time nodes, wherefore the discrete null space method is particularly suited for the treatment of elastic multibody systems in structural dynamics.

Using Multibody Systems for the Investigation of Dynamic Aberrations in High Precision Optics

The coupling of multibody system dynamics and optical simulations by using ray tracing through moving lens systems will be summarized for both rigid and flexible lens systems. Furthermore, a method will be introduced for efficient simulations in the time domain. This method provides a direct integration of the optical simulation into the equations of motion of a multibody system. (© 2011 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Computation of bounded feed-forward control for underactuated multibody systems using nonlinear optimization

Underactuation occurs, when only some generalized coordinates have a control input. For end-effector trajectory tracking a combined feed-forward and feedback control is often a suitable approach. Feed-forward control design based on an inverse model for underactuated multibody systems is presented. The starting point is the transformation of the multibody system into a nonlinear input-output normal-form. The inverse model follows from this and consists of chains of differentiators, driven internal dynamics and an algebraic part. Especially when using the end-effector as system output the internal dynamics is often unbounded. In order to obtain a viable feed-forward control, a bounded solution must be determined. For this task the internal dynamics is solved as a nonlinear optimization problem. Thereby, the coordinates of the internal dynamics define the objective function which is minimized. The equation of the internal dynamics must be fulfilled at each point of a discrete time grid. In addition continuity of the solution is achieved by adding as equality constraint an integration formula, e.g. trapezoidal rule. The optimization problem is then solved by a SQP-method.

Optimization-based simulation of nonsmooth rigid multibody dynamics

We present a time-stepping method to simulate rigid multibody dynamics with inelastic collision, contact, and friction. The method progresses with fixed time step without backtracking for collision and solves at every step a strictly convex quadratic program. We prove that a solution sequence of the method converges to the solution of a measure differential inclusion. We present numerical results for a few examples, and we illustrate the difference between the results from our scheme and previous, linear-complementarity-based time-stepping schemes.     

Variational multirate integration of constrained dynamics

Mechanical systems with dynamics on varying time scales, in particular those including highly oscillatory motion, impose challenging questions for numerical integration schemes. Tiny step sizes are required to guarantee a stable integration of the fast frequencies. However, for the simulation of the slow dynamics, integration with a larger time step is accurate enough. Small time steps increase integration times unnecessarily, especially for costly function evaluations. For systems comprising fast and slow dynamics, multirate methods integrate the slow part of the system with a relatively large step size while the fast part is integrated with a small time step. Main challenges are the identification of fast and slow parts (e.g. by separating the energy or by distinguishing sets of variables), the synchronisation of their dynamics and in particular the treatment of mixed parts that often appear when fast and slow dynamics are coupled by constraints. In this contribution, a multirate integrator is derived in closed form via a discrete variational principle on a time grid consisting of macro and micro time nodes. Variational integrators (based on a discrete version of Hamilton's principle) lead to symplectic and momentum preserving integration schemes that also exhibit good energy behavior. The resulting multirate variational integrator has the same preservation properties. An example demonstrates the performance of the multirate integrator for constrained multibody dynamics.

Non-linearity of multibody dynamic equations with respect to Lagrange multipliers: application to railway dynamics

In this paper, the dynamics of multibody systems with closed kinematical chains of bodies is considered. The main focus is set on non-linearity of the multibody equations with respect to the Lagrange multipliers. When closed chains are considered, loop cutting procedure is a solution to express the constraint equations associated with the loops. Dynamic equations of the multibody tree-like structure are thus completed with the constraint forces via the Lagrange multipliers. In the considered case of railway vehicles, constraints arise from the contact between the rigid wheels and the rails. Corresponding contact forces applied to the wheels appears via the Lagrange multipliers λ and the tangent creep forces as well. Resulting differential-algebraic equations can be transformed into an ODE system and then time-integrated using the coordinate partitioning method [3], when the system is linear with respect to λ. This paper presents an algorithm allowing us to solve this system in case of nonlinearities with respect to λ, which is typical of wheel/rail contact force models. (© 2009 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Preconditioned Dynamic Iteration for Coupled Differential-Algebraic Systems

The network approach to the modelling of complex technical systems results frequently in a set of differential-algebraic systems that are connected by coupling conditions. A common approach to the numerical solution of such coupled problems is based on the coupling of standard time integration methods for the subsystems. As a unified framework for the convergence analysis of such multi-rate, multi-method or dynamic iteration approaches we study in the present paper the convergence of a dynamic iteration method with a (small) finite number of iteration steps in each window. Preconditioning is used to guarantee stability of the coupled numerical methods. The theoretical results are applied to quasilinear problems from electrical circuit simulation and to index-3 systems arising in multibody dynamics.     

Natural co-ordinates for control applications

Natural coordinates have emerged to be well-suited for both rigid and flexible multibody dynamics. Especially the combination of structural elements and energy-momentum consistent time stepping schemes leads to superior numerical stability as well as an automatable assembly, resulting in both excellent run-time behaviour as well as moderate modelling effort (see [1]). Incorporation of modern methods for finite-element simulations, such as mortar methods for contact or domain decomposition both for structural elements as well as continuum elements is straightforward ([2]). Augmentation techniques allow a systematic integration of both mechanical and non-mechanical quantities for simulation (see [3] and [4]), which makes this approach suitable especially for emulation and simulation of mechatronic systems. We will present an approach for evaluating forward control strategies with flexible multibody systems. (© 2012 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Rotationless formulation for large deformations in flexible multibody dynamics

Especially for specific applications, such as contact problems, computer methods for flexible multibody dynamics that are able to treat large deformation phenomena are important. Classical formalisms for multibody dynamics are based on rigid bodies. Their extension to flexible multibody systems is typically restricted to linear elastic material behavior whereas large deformation phenomena are formulated in the framework of the nonlinear finite element method. In the talk we address computer methods that can handle large deformations in the context of multibody systems. In particular, the link between nonlinear continuum mechanics and multibody systems is facilitated by a specific formulation of rigid body dynamics [1]. It makes possible the incorporation of state-of-the-art computer methods for large deformation problems. In the talk we focus on the treatment of large deformation contact whithin flexible multibody dynamics [2]. (© 2011 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
