This diploma thesis is concerned with selecting the appropriate method for determining the moment of inertia to the vertical, lateral and longitudinal axis through the centre of gravity of the vehicle. Using the special mechanical device, constructed on IAE was carried out repeated measurements of known mass properties in each axis. With the aid of obtained data was calculated measurement error. To compare the resulting values was created MBS model.

No / A vehicle that deviates laterally from its intended path of travel when the brakes are applied is considered to demonstrate ‘instability’ in the form of an unexpected and undesirable response to the driver input. Even where the magnitude of lateral displacement of the vehicle is small (i.e. ‘drift’ rather than ‘pull’) such a condition would be considered unacceptable by manufacturers and customers. Steering ‘drift’ during braking can be caused by several factors, some of which relate to vehicle design and others to external influences such as road conditions. The study presented here examines the causes and effects of steering drift during straight-line braking. A comparative analysis is made between two types of vehicle model: one built with rigid suspension components and the other with flexible components. In both the cases, the vehicle behaviour is simulated during braking in a straight line, and responses including lateral acceleration, yaw rate, and lateral displacement of the vehicle are predicted and analysed under fixed steering control. Suspension/steering geometry characteristics, namely toe steer and caster angle, have been studied to understand how the effect of variations in these parameters differs in models with rigid or flexible components drift during straight-line braking. Results from both vehicle models show that differences between rigid and flexible components can affect the predicted steering drift propensity. The differences between the two models have emphasized the importance of using flexible (compliant) components in vehicle handling simulations to achieve better correlation between prediction and experiment.

This thesis presents model-based adaptive motion control algorithms for under-actuated aerial robotic manipulators combining a conventional multi-rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and a multi-link serial robotic arm. The resulting control problem is quite challenging due to the complexity of the combined system dynamics, under-actuation, and possible kinematic redundancy. The under-actuation imposes second-order nonholonomic constraints on the system motion and prevents independent control of all system degrees of freedom (DOFs). Desired reference trajectories can only be provided for a selected group of independent DOFs, whereas the references for the remaining DOFs must be determined such that they are consistent with the motion constraints. This restriction prevents the application of common model-based control methods to the problem of this thesis. Using insights from the system under-actuated dynamics, four motion control strategies are proposed which allow for semi-autonomous and fully-autonomous operation. The control algorithm is fully developed and presented for two of these strategies; its development for the other two configurations follows similar steps and hence is omitted from the thesis. The proposed controllers incorporate the combined dynamics of the UAV base and the serial arm, and properly account for the two degrees of under-actuation in the plane of the propellers. The algorithms develop and employ the second-order nonholonomic constraints to numerically determine motion references for the dependent DOFs which are consistent with the motion constraints. This is a unique feature of the motion control algorithms in this thesis which sets them apart from all other prior work in the literature of UAVmanipulators. The control developments follow the so-called method of virtual decomposition, which by employing a Newtonian formulation of the UAV-Manipulator dynamics, sidesteps the complexities associated with the derivation and parametrization of a lumped Lagrangian dynamics model. The algorithms are guaranteed to produce feasible control commands as the constraints associated with the under-actuation are explicitly considered in the control calculations. A method is proposed to handle possible kinematic redundancy in the presence of second-order motion constraints. The control design is also extended to include the propeller dynamics, for cases that such dynamics may significantly impact the system response. A Lyapunov analysis demonstrates the stability of the overall system and the convergence of the motion tracking errors. Experimental results with an octo-copter integrated with a 3 DOF robotic manipulator show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategies. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Die Arbeit befasst sich mit der Entwicklung automatischer Lenkungen, die die von Schienenfahrzeugen bekannte Spurtreue auf n-gliedrige, mehrachsgelenkte Straßenfahrzeuge übertragen. Spurtreu bedeutet folglich, dass die Lenkachsmittelpunkte keinen seitlichen Versatz zueinander aufweisen. Dafür wird ein modellbasiertes automatisches Lenkverfahren systematisch konzipiert, entworfen und erprobt, das sowohl eine vollautomatische Spurführung als auch eine halbautomatische Nachführung erlaubt. Die modellbasierten automatischen Lenkungen unterliegen keinen praktisch relevanten Einschränkungen. Das wird durch die Verwendung einer Steuerungsstruktur mit zwei Freiheitsgraden erreicht, die aus einer modellbasierten Vorsteuerung und einem Rückführregler besteht. In der Vorsteuerung werden die Lenkwinkel aller Achsen berechnet, mit denen der Sollweg theoretisch spurtreu befahren wird. Durch den Einsatz eines speziell angepassten, modularen Mehrkörpermodells gelingt diese Berechnung allgemein für eine Klasse n-gliedriger Fahrzeuge. Zum Ausgleich von nicht vermeidbaren Modellunbestimmtheiten und nicht gemessenen Störungen werden ein nichtlinearer Mehrgrößenregler sowie achs-individuelle lineare Eingrößenregler entworfen und miteinander verglichen. Simulationen und Fahrversuche zeigen, dass das entwickelte Verfahren in einem weiten Geschwindigkeitsbereich robust gegenüber typischen Einflussgrößen wie Fahrbahn- und Beladungszustand ist.

Für die effiziente Blechtafelbearbeitung mit hoher Prozesssicherheit und Teilequalität ist die positions- und winkelgenaue Ausrichtung der Rohblechtafeln vor dem Bearbeitungsprozess erforderlich. Dieser Beitrag untersucht vibrationsbasierte Ausrichtkonzepte mittels Mehrkörpersystem-Simulation. Die entwickelten Simulationsmodelle ermöglichen die Charakterisierung und den Vergleich der Konzepte hinsichtlich der Bewegungs- und Ausrichteigenschaften sowie der erforderlichen Antriebskraft. / Efficient, reliable, and qualitative sheet metal processing requires both positional and angular alignment of the raw metal sheets prior to the manufacturing process. This paper investigates different vibration-based alignment concepts using a multi-body system simulation. The simulation model is then used to characterize and compare, with respect to the motion and alignment properties as well as the required driving force, the diverse vibration-based alignment concepts.

This dissertation thesis is concerning with an interaction between mobile working machines and rolled surfaces. Machines and their constructions parts behavior were observed. There are some machines that can change state of surface. And due to these change of surface the machine is in different conditions for drive and also for works. The interaction of working machines and rolled surfaces was categorized in this work and for each category here is a methodic work flow for solution of various cases. Three examples are described in this work. Some simulating programs were used for all cases and therefore there is a methodic work flow for creating and simulating of models. Three described examples include a complex solution of hydraulic drive for vibration exciter of vibration roller, small cleaner of canalizations with aim on load case to frame of this cart. The third example describes solution of undercarriage frames of agricultural semi-trailers. This example is the most extensive chapter from this work due to including of marketing research at the beginning of development and also verification of simulated results with results from real prototype tests at the end of development of these undercarriage frames.
