Based on Dynamics of Flexible Multi-body systems, the mechanics model of articulated lifting system is established. Under the four-grade and six-grade oceanic condition, dynamic responses of lifting system are simulated and experiment verified. The simulation results are consistent with experimental ones. The maximum moment of flexion is 322 kN-m on the first pipe under six-grade sea condition. It is seen that the articulated connection can reduce the moment of flexion. The bending deformation of pipe center is researched, and the maximum is 0. 000479 m on the first pipe. Deformation has a little effect on the motion of system. It is feasible to analyze articulated lifting system by applying the theory of flexible multi-body dynamics. The articulated lifting system is obviously better than the fixed one.展开更多

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.展开更多

However, their precise operation is usually hindered by disturbances from a tether or manipulator because their propellers are unable to realize a stable suspension. A dynamic multi-body model-based adaptive controller was designed to allow the controller of the vehicle to observe and compensate for disturbances from a tether or manipulator. Disturbances, including those from a tether or manipulator, are deduced for the observation of the controller. An analysis of a tether disturbance covers the conditions of the surface, the underwater area, and the vehicle end point. Interactions between the vehicle and manipulator are mainly composed of coupling forces and restoring moments.To verify the robustness of the controller, path-following experiments on a streamlined autonomous underwater vehicle experiencing various disturbances were conducted in Song Hua Lake in China. Furthermore,path-following experiments for a tethered open frame remote operated vehicle were verified for accurate cruising with a controller and an observer, and vehicle and manipulator coordinate motion control during the simulation and experiments verified the effectiveness of the controller and observer for underwater operation. This study provides instructions for the control of an underwater vehicle experiencing disturbances from a tether or manipulator.展开更多

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.展开更多
