Analysis for the Deployment of Single-Point Mooring Buoy System Based on Multi-Body Dynamics Method

Deployment of buoy systems is one of the most important procedures for the operation of buoy system. In the present study, a single-point mooring buoy system which contains surface buoy, cable segments with components, anchor and so on is modeled by applying multi-body dynamics method. The motion equations are developed in discrete node description and fully Cartesian coordinates. Then numerical method is used to solve the ordinary differential equations and dynamics simulations are achieved while anchor is casting from board. The trajectories and velocities of different nodes without current and with current in buoy system are obtained. The transient tension force of each part of the cable is analyzed in the process of deployment. Numerical results indicate that the transient payload increases to a peak value when the anchor is touching the seabed and the maximum tension force will vary with different floating configuration. This work is helpful for design and deployment planning of buoy system.

Multi-body dynamics modeling and test of an articulated steering half-track tractor

With the benefits of small turning radius and high trafficability, the articulated steering half-track tractor had been widely utilized in orchard and small spaced farmland. To study the dynamic performance of the articulated steering half-track tractor and provide a model basis for studying the path tracking control, an accurate multi-body dynamic model of the tractor was required. In this study, the crucial parameters in the dynamic model construction of the tractor were investigated. Firstly, the topology model of the components of the half-track tractor was built by RecurDyn, in which the movement subs and driver functions were given. Secondly, considering the difference of dynamic characteristic of the articulated steering tractor with respect to different pavement hardnesses, the soft and hard pavement models were constructed by employing the harmonic superposition method. Finally, the simulations of the half-track tractor under straight-line and swerve had been conducted on the two types of pavements, and the simulation results were compared with the experimental and theoretical results. The results indicated that the average speed error of the dynamic model on hard pavement and farmland soft pavement were 2.7% and 2.1% compared with the real tractor tests. At the same time, the straight-line driving offset errors of the dynamic model on the two pavements were 1.6% and 3.8% for the front wheels and the rear wheels offset errors were 3.9% and 2.4%, respectively. Furthermore, the turning radius error under front wheel steering was 8.2% and the error under articulated steering was 5.3%. It is proved that the established dynamic model had high accuracy, which provides an efficient approach to analyze the dynamic features of the half-track tractor.

In order to achieve the complex dynamic analysis of the self-propelled seafloor pilot miner moving on the seafloor of extremely cohesive soft soil and further to make it possible to integrate the miner system with some subsystems to form the complete integrated deep ocean mining pilot system and perform dynamic analysis, a new method for the dynamic modeling and analysis of the miner is proposed and developed in this paper, resulting in a simplified 3D single-body vehicle model with three translational and three rotational degrees of freedom, while the track-terrain interaction model is built by partitioning the track-terrain interface into discrete elements with parameterized force dements built on the theory of terramechanics acting on each discrete dement. To evaluate and verify the correctness and effectiveness of this new modeling and analysis method, typical comparative studies with regard to computational efficiency and solution accuracy are carried out between the traditional modeling method of building the tracked vehicle as a multi-body model and the new modeling method. In full consideration of the particMar structure design of the pilot miner, the special characteristics of the seafioor soil and the hydrodynamic force of near-seafloor currnt, the dynamic simulation analysis of the miner is performed and discussed, which can provide useful guidance and reference for the practical miner system in design and operation. This new method can not only realize the rapid dynamic simulation analysis of the miner but also make possible the integration and rapid dynamic analysis of the complete integrated deep ocean mining pilot system in further researches.

DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR OF THIN RECTANGULAR PLATE ATTACHED TO MOVING RIGID

A nonlinear dynamic model of a thin rectangular plate attached to a moving rigid was established by employing the general Hamilton＇s variational principle. Based on the new model, it is proved theoretically that both phenomena of dynamic stiffening and dynamic softening can occur in the plate when the rigid undergoes different large overall motions including overall translational and rotary motions. It was also proved that dynamic softening effect even can make the trivial equilibrium of the plate lose its stability through bifurcation. Assumed modes method was employed to validate the theoretical result and analyze the approximately critical bifurcation value and the postbuckling equilibria.

Dynamic Response Analysis and Vibration Control for A Fixed-Bottom Offshore Wind Turbine Subjected to Multiple External Excitations

For the offshore wind turbines installed in earthquake areas,their operation is affected by seismic loads in addition to wind and wave loads.Therefore,it is necessary to study the dynamic responses and vibration control of the wind turbines.In previous studies,the structural responses of offshore wind turbines are usually investigated in the parked case,while the blade rotation effect is usually not considered.The evaluation on the structural responses may be inaccurate under this condition,further affecting the evaluation on the vibration control performance of a control system.In view of it,this paper established a complete multi-body model of a fixed-bottom offshore wind turbine considering pile-soil interaction,and then performed simulations when the wind turbine was subjected to multiple external excitations.Continued,a single tuned mass damper(STMD)system and a multiple tuned mass dampers(MTMDs)system were applied to control structural vibrations of the wind turbine.Then,based on the construction of a simplified main structure-TMD system,TMD parameters were optimized.Finally,twelve load cases including operating and parked conditions were selected to perform simulations.Results show that the influence of the seismic excitation on blade responses is greater under the parked condition than that under the operating condition.Moreover,STMD/MTMDS exhibit better performance under the parked condition than that under the operating condition.Compared with STMD,MTMDS can better suppress the vibrations at both the fundamental and high-order modes,and exhibits significant robustness under the condition of changing soil parameters.

Engine Noise Prediction by Using Multi-body Simulation

Abstract： This paper presents a coupled multi-body and FEM （finite element method）-BEM （boundary element method） methodology used to carry out a comprehensive NVH （noise, vibration and harshness） investigation of a four-cylinder internal combustion engine prototype. Firstly, a MBDS （multi-body dynamic simulation） of the internal combustion engine has been carried out, at a defined operating condition, in order to determine the excitation force of the powertrain exciting the cylinder block. In this way, the dynamics of the engine powertrain have been described taking into account both the effects of the gas forces of the combustion process and the inertia forces of the moving parts. Afterwards, the cylinder block excitation forces have been used to evaluate the engine block vibrations and to predict the external noise radiated with both the well-known ATV （acoustic transfer vectors） and MATV （modal acoustic transfer vectors） methodologies at a distance of 1 m from the engine, according to the standard ISO 3744. The dynamics of the engine powertrain and its vibro-acoustic behaviour have been described using LMS （learning management system） Engineering Innovation Virtual.Lab tools.
