This paper presents a novel method to investigate the dynamics between the interconnected
rigid and very flexible bodies of a deep-sea ROV-TMS with highly coupled dynamics. The …

Vibration decreases operational accuracy and productivity of flexible manipulators, and
trajectory planning is an effective way to suppress vibration. However, the existing trajectory …

In this paper, a new continuum-based pantograph/catenary model based on the absolute
nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) is proposed and used to develop an effective method …

The dynamic modeling of a sliding joint on a one-dimensional medium, such as a cable or a
beam, is studied in this paper. The sliding joint is implemented by positioning it at a moving …

The dynamic interaction between the catenary and the pantographs of high-speed trains is a
very important factor that affects the stable electric power supply. In order to design a reliable …

This paper develops a new procedure for evaluating the elastic forces, the elastic energy
and the jacobian of the elastic forces in the absolute nodal coordinate formulation. For this …
