    Kinematic modeling and analysis of serial manipulator
    (2019)
    ;
    ;
    The purpose of this paper is modelling and simulation of serial manipulator type RRRR. CAD model was developed by using the software SolidWorks for modelling the serial manipulator. Simulation model of serial robot is made by conversion from SolidWorks to Matlab/Simulink. The serial robot can be shown schematic as a kinematic connection of rigid bodies that are interconnected using rotary kinematic pairs. The manipulator movement is defined so the movement of each member is related to the previous one. The position and orientation of the gripper must be defined to ensure safe handling. In this paper, the steps needed to model the serial manipulator together with all its components, its transfer into Simulink and its PID controlling and simulation is described. The obtained results for velocity and acceleration in kinematic pairs contribute in detailed analysis of kinematics and control design.

    Investigation of self-excited vibrations in tread brake unit for railway vehicles
    (Journal of Vibroengineering, 2016-02)
    ;
    ;
    The appearance of self-excited vibrations caused by dry friction of two elements or their contact surfaces is common practice in nature and technique. The braking force that slows down the railway vehicles is associated with dry sliding friction between the brake pads and the wheels. This leads to occurrence of self-excited vibrations in tread brake unit or simply brake block. This paper explores the phenomenon of self-excited vibrations in the brake block of railway vehicles. In order to demonstrate the existence of self-excited vibrations, mathematical model is created in Matlab Simulink and the results are compared with experimental data recorded during braking of electric powered train series 412-416 equipped with tread brake unit. Experimental studies have been performed in laboratory and in real-time conditions with braking train. This paper proves the occurrence of self-excited vibrations, their form and intensity.

    Theoretical Calculation of Wind Response of Tall Structure with TMD and Comparison with Eurocode EN 1991-1-4 Procedure 2
    (2015-05)
    ;
    This paper explores the possibilities of the Eurocode EN 1991-1-4 to be used to predict the response of structures with installed dynamic vibration absorber or TMD.The analysis is performed in a way that Davenport model is used to conduct theoretical calculation, and then is made calculation according to Eurocode procedure 2. Finally, results from both methods are compared. Floor displacements, accelerations, aerodynamical damping of structure and compliance to serviceability criteria ISO 10137:2007 is being calculated. In the end, remarks concerning the usability of the EN standard for predicting wind response of wind susceptible structures are given on the basis of calculated results from both methods.

    Application of similitude laws for experimental investigations of dynamic properties of tall prototype steel structure
    (Faculty of Engineering Hunedoara, 2016)
    ;
    ;
    This paper elaborates the procedures for scaling prototype structure to scale model according to similitude laws keeping the dynamic properties of the original structure. The scaling procedures are very suitable for experiments where the purpose is not only to check the strength of the structure, but also to investigate the performance of other dynamic devices mounted on the primary structure such as dynamic absorbers. In such cases, the use of condensation methods comes to mind in order to reduce the original d.o.f. and make the model structure behave same in the first several modes as the original structure.

    Mathematical Model of New Type of Train Buffer Made of Polymer Absorber—Determination of Dynamic Impact Curve for Different Temperatures
    (2018-10)
    ;
    ;
    ;
    Previous experimental knowledge has confirmed that one of the most influential factors affecting the performance of polymer friction absorbers embedded in buffer housing as part of the buffer and chain coupler is the temperature. This paper defines a mathematical model of a friction-type polymer absorber, PMKP-110. The presented mathematical model specifically includes the influence of the environment temperature on the dynamic impact curve for −60 °C and 15 °C. The dependence between the initial pre-tension of the buffer and the ambient temperature is calculated. The model involves an equation of motion for moving parts of the absorber, and the solution of the differential equation is achieved in Matlab. Results are given as diagrams of the impact deformation and impact speed of the polymer block, with assumed zero initial impact speed. The model can be used to analyze the action of the longitudinal forces that occur during transient conditions of the movement of the carriages.

    (2015)
    ;
    This paper explores the possibilities of Eurocode EN 1991-1-4 to be used for predicting the response of structures with installed dynamic vibration absorber (TMD). The analysis is performed in a way that Davenport model is used to conduct theoretical calculation, and then calculation according to Eurocode procedure 2. In particular, the influence of the aerodynamic damping is reviewed and its influence to response calculation. The results from both methods are compared. Results comprise of floor displacements, accelerations, aerodynamical damping of structure and compliance to serviceability criteria ISO 10137:2007. Final remarks concerning the usability of the EN standard for predicting wind response of wind susceptible structures are given on the basis of calculated results from both methods.

    Modeling of mechanism with linear hydraulic drive system
    (2019-06)
    ;
    This paper presents computational modeling results of a mechanism with hydraulic drive system that performs linear or transversal motion. This mechanism is commonly used in the construction mechanization and the simulation model analysis is obtained by using Matlab/Simulink. Connection of mechanical and hydraulic elements makes this mechanism quite specific and the linking of the mechanical and hydraulic parts is presented. The simulation modeling allows the force and velocity of piston from hydraulic cylinder to be obtained which are necessary components for further projecting of hydraulic drive system.

    Dynamic modeling and simulation of three-member robot manipulator
    (2018-10)
    ;
    ;
    Dynamic model analysis of manipulator as mechanical structure is presented for further purpose in actuator selection and process for establishing control strategy. Control problems involves determination of control forces and moments applied in manipulator joints that will ensure movements along a certain defined trajectory. Trajectory design is the basis for the manipulator control process. This problem is quite complex because the manipulator is a connected system in which the movement of a member affects the movement of other. Therefore, in following is presented a method for forces and moments determination in kinematic joints of a three-member manipulator analytically and also by using simulation dynamical model in the Matlab/Simulink program package. The friction forces in the kinematics joints are not taken into account.

    Estimation and analysis of various influential factors in the braking process of rail vehicles
    (2019-08)
    ;
    ;
    Braking distances play an important role in the organization of rail traffic and exploitation of rail vehicles. The braking distances of rail vehicles affect several factors that cannot be defined and determined precisely. In this paper, a mathematical model, for train moving through braking, is presented by taking into account the relevant train braking resistance and a procedure is given for solving a differential equation of movement of the rail vehicle during braking. The procedure allows determining influential factors that have an effect on the length of braking distances. The influence and the changes of specific resistance during the movement of the train, braking force, and adhesion between wheel and rail during the braking process are presented. The results obtained with the presented mathematical model are accurate and match with the results obtained experimentally.
