Multi-rigid-body contact dynamics and haptic interaction for fixture loading planning. / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collectionJanuary 2005 (has links)
Dynamics Simulation Engine is the foundation of the whole system. The engine maintains a realistic dynamics scene in either automatic planning or haptic guided planning. It serves as an off-line verification of the planned motion so that the generated scheme can be 'played' with the engine. In this thesis, we developed a three-dimensional dynamics simulation engine based on an extension of the explicit time-stepping scheme and an application of the differential inclusion process introduced by J. J. Moreau. In the engine, we developed the contact propagation method for a general three-dimensional rigid-body system with multiple unilateral contacts without any bilateral constraints. / In our approach, a sequence of applied forces on the mass center of the workpiece is planned. The applied forces will push the workpiece to get in contact with all the locators. For this purpose, we developed a system with two engines, Motion Planning Engine and Dynamics Simulation Engine. / The goal of Motion Planning Engine is to make the workpiece in contact with all the six locators. Here, the workpiece is initially at an arbitrary place with not contact with any locator. The planning follows a simple scheme of monotonously increase the number of contacts with locators. Here we use a two-step scheme. First, finding the velocity of the workpiece that can approach the new locator while maintaining contacts with old locators. This can be formulated as a linear programming problem. Second, finding the applied force to realize such motion. This step is a central issue in the planning because for the rigid-body model, the solution to multiple frictional contacts is generally indeterministic. One possibility is jamming, that is, the applied force cannot move the workpiece even with less than six contacts. In this thesis, we will give criteria to determine whether the jamming will happen, and we will also derive an algorithm to generate the non-jamming applied force. / The thesis presents an approach to the fixture loading planning problem. That is, to plan the applied forces on the workpiece in order for it to be loaded into a manufacturing fixture. / Liu Tong. / "June 2005." / Adviser: Michael Yu Wang. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 67-07, Section: B, page: 4067. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2005. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 115-124). / Electronic reproduction.

High-fidelity modeling of a backhoe digging operation using an explicit multibody dynamics finite element code with integrated discrete element methodAhmadi Ghoohaki, Shahriar 06 November 2013 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / In this thesis, a high- fidelity multibody dynamics model of a backhoe for simulating the digging operation is developed using the DIS (Dynamic Interactions Simulator)multibody dynamics software. Sand is used as a sample digging material to illustrate the model. The backhoe components (such as frame, manipulators links,track segments, wheels and sprockets) are modeled as rigid bodies. The geometry of the major moving components of the backhoe is created using the Pro/E solid modeling software. The components of the backhoe are imported to DIS and connected
using joints (revolute, cylindrical and prismatic joints). Rotary and linear
actuators along with PD (Proportional-Derivative) controllers are used to move and steer the backhoe and to move the backhoes manipulator in the desired trajectory.
Sand is modeled using cubic shaped particles that can come into contact with each other, the backhoes bucket and ground. A cubical sand particle contact surface is modeled using eight spheres that are rigidly glued to each other to form a cubical shaped particle, The backhoe and ground surfaces are modeled as polygonal surfaces.
A penalty technique is used to impose both joint and normal contact constraints (including track-wheels, track-terrain, bucket-particles and particles-particles contact).
An asperity-based friction model is used to model joint and contact friction. A Cartesian Eulerian grid contact search algorithm is used to allow fast contact detection between particles. A recursive bounding box contact search algorithm is used to allow fast contact detection for polygonal contact surfaces and is used to detect contact between: track and ground; track and wheels; bucket and particles; and ground and particles. The governing equations of motion are solved along with joint/constraint equations using a time-accurate explicit solution procedure.
The sand model is validated using a conical hopper sand flow experiment in which the sand flow rate during discharge and the angle of repose of the resulting sand pile are experimentally measured. The results of the conical hopper simulation are compared with previously published experimental results. Parameter studies are performed
using the sand model to study the e ffects of the particle size and the orifi ces
diameter of the hopper on the sand pile angle of repose and sand flow rate.
The sand model is integrated with the backhoe model to simulate a typical digging operation. The model is used to predict the manipulators actuator forces needed to dig through a pile of sand. Integrating the sand model and backhoe model can help improving the performance of construction equipment by predicting, for various vehicle design alternatives: the actuator and joint forces, and the vehicle stability during digging.
