#### Dynamically consistent Jacobian inverse for non-holonomic robotic systems

This paper presents an extension of the concept of dynamically consistent Jacobian inverse from robotic manipulators (holonomic systems) to non-holonomic robotic systems, like mobile robots. This new inverse is derived within the framework of the endogenous configuration space approach, following a strict analogy with the original derivation of the dynamically consistent Jacobian ...

#### Application of dynamic optimisation to the trajectory of a cable-suspended load

The paper discusses a dynamic model of the system consisting of an on-board hoisting winch on a moving vessel, cable, and load. The model accounting for large rope sag and hydrodynamic drag force was used to solve the problem of dynamic optimisation. The essence of which is what angle of rotation should be selected for the hoisting winch to ensure that the load during the defined ...

#### Research on chaos and nonlinear rolling stability of a rotary-molded boat

On the basis of nonlinear features analysis of restoring torque, damping torque and especially hull deformation, a nonlinear roll equation of rotary-molded boats has been established. The equation includes elastic deformation term which makes the equation different from existing ones for steel boats. This paper dissected its dynamic characteristic of rolling motion from different ...

#### Nonlinear reduced-order modelling for limit-cycle oscillation analysis

A nonlinear model reduction based on eigenmode decomposition and projection for the prediction of sub- and supercritical limit-cycle oscillation is presented herein. The paper focuses on the derivation of the reduced-order model formulation to include expansion terms up to fifth order such that higher-order nonlinear behaviour of a physical system can be captured. The method is ...

#### $N-1$ modal interactions of a three-degree-of-freedom system with cubic elastic nonlinearities

In this paper the $N-1$ nonlinear modal interactions that occur in a nonlinear three-degree-of-freedom lumped mass system, where $N=3$, are considered. The nonlinearity comes from springs with weakly nonlinear cubic terms. Here, the case where all the natural frequencies of the underlying linear system are close (i.e. $\omega _{n1}: \omega _{n2}:\omega _{n3} \approx 1:1:1$) ...

#### Lagrangian Jacobian inverse for nonholonomic robotic systems

The motion planning problem for nonholonomic robotic systems is studied using the continuation method and the optimization paradigms. A new Jacobian motion planning algorithm is derived, based on a solution of the Lagrange-type optimization problem addressed in the linear approximation of the system. Performance of the new algorithm is illustrated by numeric computations performed ...

#### Nearly incompressible nonlinear material models in the large deformation analysis of beams using ANCF

Many modern applications of the flexible multibody systems require formulations that can effectively solve problems that include large displacements and deformations having the ability to model nonlinear materials. One method that allows dealing with such systems is continuum-based absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF). The objective of this study is to formulate an ...

#### Decomposition of governing equations in the analysis of resonant response of a nonlinear and non-ideal vibrating system

The dynamic response of a nonlinear system with three degrees of freedom in resonance that is loaded, inter alia, with a non-ideal excitation is investigated. A direct current motor (DC motor) with an eccentrically mounted rotor serves as a non-ideal source of energy. The general coordinate corresponding to the rotor dynamics steadily increases as a result of rotational motion. The ...

#### Generalized quaternion M sets and Julia sets perturbed by dynamical noises

In this study, the quaternion Mandelbrot sets and Julia sets (abbreviated as M–J sets) with additive and multiplicative noise perturbations are constructed and the changes of their fractal characteristics are explored. The experimental results show that the quaternion M sets with additive noise perturbations move in the direction of the noise, while the structures remain unchanged. ...

#### New class of chaotic systems with circular equilibrium

This paper brings a new mathematical model of the third-order autonomous deterministic dynamical system with associated chaotic motion. Its unique property lies in the existence of circular equilibrium which was not, by referring to the best knowledge of the authors, so far reported. Both mathematical analysis and circuitry implementation of the corresponding differential equations ...

#### Triple correlation for detection of damage-related nonlinearities in composite structures

Nonlinear effects in vibration responses are investigated for the undamaged composite plate and the composite plate with a delamination. The analysis is focused on higher harmonic generation in vibration responses for various excitation amplitude levels. This effect is investigated using the triple correlation technique. The dynamics of composite plate was modelled using ...

#### On the rotational equations of motion in rigid body dynamics when using Euler parameters

Many models of three-dimensional rigid body dynamics employ Euler parameters as rotational coordinates. Since the four Euler parameters are not independent, one has to consider the quaternion constraint in the equations of motion. This is usually done by the Lagrange multiplier technique. In the present paper, various forms of the rotational equations of motion will be derived, and ...

#### Reconstruction of one-dimensional chaotic maps from sequences of probability density functions

In many practical situations, it is impossible to measure the individual trajectories generated by an unknown chaotic system, but we can observe the evolution of probability density functions generated by such a system. The paper proposes for the first time a matrix-based approach to solve the generalized inverse Frobenius–Perron problem, that is, to reconstruct an unknown ...

#### On the general theory of chaotic dynamics of flexible curvilinear Euler–Bernoulli beams

We present chaotic dynamics of flexible curvilinear shallow Euler–Bernoulli beams. The continuous problem is reduced to the Cauchy problem by the finite-difference method of the second-order accuracy and finite element method (FEM). The Cauchy problem is solved through the fourth- and sixth-order Runge–Kutta methods with respect to time. This preserves reliability of the obtained ...

#### Decomposition frameworks for cooperative manipulation of a planar rigid body with multiple unilateral thrusters

In this paper, we consider cooperative manipulation of a planar rigid body using multiple actuator agents—unilateral thrusters, each attached to the body and each able to apply an unilateral force to the body. Generally, the dynamics of the body manipulated with uncoordinated forces of thrusters is nonlinear. The problem we consider is how to design the unilateral force each agent ...
