Abstract: The use of adaptronic components opens up interesting new possibilities for modern machine tools such as parallel kinematics. In this paper, two active vibration control concepts are designed ...

Abstract: In this paper, it is shown that some classic longitudinal impact problems can be solved satisfactorily with time delayed systems. As an example, a sphere colliding with a fixed rod with finite ...

Abstract: Multibody dynamics is based on analytical mechanics and is applied to engineering systems such as a wide variety of machines and all kind of vehicles. Multibody dynamics depends on computational ...

Abstract: The modern design process of mechanical structures is increasingly influenced by highly sophisticated methods of topology optimization that can automatically synthesize optimal design variants. ...

Abstract: One important issue for the simulation of flexible multibody systems is the quality controlled reduction in the flexible bodies degrees of freedom. In this work, the procedure is based on ...

Abstract: Dynamic stability of cutting processes such as milling and turning is mainly restricted by the phenomenon of the regenerative effect, causing self-excited vibration, which is well known as ...

Abstract: The objective of this study is to construct a continuous mathematical model that describes the frictionless contact between a nominally flat (rough) viscoelastic punch and a perfectly rigid ...

Abstract: Generally speaking, impacts are events of very short duration and a common problem in machine dynamics. During impact, kinetic energy is lost due to plastic deformation near the contact area ...

Abstract: A discrete element approach to assess degradation processes in ballast beds is presented. Firstly, a discrete element model describing strength and failure of strong rock is introduced. For this ...
