Abstract: A computational methodology for modeling spatial flexible mechanical systems with stick-slip friction in a spherical clearance joint is presented. A modified three-dimensional (3D) absolute nodal coordinate formulation ...

Abstract: This paper reports on the development of the component mode synthesis (CMS) method using hybrid coordinates for a localized nonlinear dynamic system. As is well known, the CMS method is effective in reducing the degreesoffreedom ...

Abstract: In this paper, a dynamic wear model to predict wear volume in a mechanism, involving aleatory and epistemic uncertainty, is established. In this case, harmonic drives are applied to alleviate the impact of clearance for ...

Abstract: A computational methodology to model and analyze planar rigid mechanical system with stick–slip friction in revolute clearance joint is presented. In this work, the LuGre friction model, which captures the Stribeck effect ...
