Flexible Multibody Dynamics for Design Optimisation and Parameter Identification: With Application on Reciprocating Mechanisms KU Leuven
To remain competitive, manufacturers need a strong commitment to innovation. Mechatronics allows to optimize the performance and reliability of equipment. It allows manufacturers to combine quality, reliability, energy efficiency with ever increasing production speeds. Due to the absence of sufficiently reliable knowledge about the dynamical behavior of machines this is so far not prevalent. Knowledge of system dynamics requires a reliable ...
Advanced Multibody Modelling of Gears for System-Level Dynamics of Mechanical Transmissions - Development and Experimental Validation of Transmission Error and Root Strain KU Leuven
This PhD dissertation focuses on the development and experimental validation of a multibody element to reach efficient system-level dynamic simulations for geared power transmissions, having three-dimensional gear contact detail. The multibody element is built on a proposed methodology which is capable of accounting for detailed gear contact in system-level dynamics, such that the gears are coupled to the supporting structural elements and are ...
Interface reduction of flexible bodies for efficient modeling of body flexibility in multibody dynamics KU Leuven
The floating frame of reference techniques is an established technique to incorporate flexibility in multibody models. The model dimension of the body flexibility models can be reduced by model reduction techniques such as Component Mode Synthesis (CMS) or Krylov subspace-based techniques, but the efficiency of these techniques is limited by the number of interface nodes in which the flexible body is or can be loaded. A common solution to this ...
A system-level model reduction technique for efficient simulation of flexible multibody dynamics KU Leuven
In flexible multibody dynamics, body-level model reduction is typically used to decrease the computational load of a simulation. Body-level model reduction is generally performed by means of Component Mode Synthesis. This offers an acceptable solution for many applications, but does not result in significant model reduction for systems with moving connection points, e.g. due to a flexible sliding joint. In this research, Global Modal ...
Model Reduction of Contact Problems in Flexible Multibody Dynamics KU Leuven
The research presented in this dissertation is concerned with the efficient solution of dynamic contact problems by means of distributed-parameter methods. Such problems are encountered in the computer-aided design of mechanical systems, where contact interactions are ubiquitous and often vital to the proper functioning of the system. With weight reduction and increased operating frequencies among the primary objectives of present-day ...
