Abstract: In this paper, the nonlinear modeling of beam energy harvester embedded with piezoelectric transducers is presented. Starting from a multibody dynamics perspective, a fully coupled electromechanical nonlinear beam model ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the problem of control constraint realization applied to the design of maneuvers of complex underactuated systems modeled as multibody problems. Applications of interest in the area of aerospace ...

Abstract: This paper presents a formulation for the efficient solution of generalpurpose multibody/multiphysics problems. The core equations and details on structural dynamics and finite rotations handling are presented. The solution ...

Abstract: This article presents a control strategy for the stiffness regulation of parallel manipulators based on the implementation of a simple proportional controller. Starting from the assignment of the stiffness or compliance ...

Abstract: The slipper is the critical component of a supersonic rocket sled that is in contact with the track. Due to clearance and contact effects, the supersonic slipper–track system displays pronounced nonlinearities. A comprehensive ...
