Indeed, offshore turbines are usually subject to stronger and steadier wind compared to onshore machines, promising a higher energy production. Moreover, VAWTs combine the advantages of being insensitive to the wind direction while having a lower centre of gravity. […]

]]> Coupled modelling of multibody systems and granular media https://www.robotran.be/works/coupled-mbs-dem-modelling/ Wed, 20 May 2020 16:14:37 +0000 https://www.robotran.be/?post_type=works&p=930 Abstract:To study some industrial process, it may be helpful to model a machine interacting with granular media (e.g. the tamping process of railway track). On one hand, the Discrete Element Method (DEM) allows us to model material composed of a huge amount of grains, taking the contact between each particl into account. On the other […]

Optimal control consists of finding the control law for a given system such that a certain optimality criterion is achieved. In other words, the goal is to determine the control […]

It allows to analyze the control of a narrow track vehicle. Several sensors equip the prototype. The multibody model is compared with experimental results. Keywords: Narrow track vehicle ; Vehicle Dynamics ; Multibody Modeling ; Direct Tilting Control The interest in Narrow Tilting Vehicle (NTV) has increased recently as it offers the […]

Indeed, using the principle of cross connected suspension, the muscles increases the roll stiffness of the suspension while keeping the same bounce stiffness. Furthermore, this suspension configuration reducing the […]

Even if it is well known, the forces induced in the mechanism might be complicated to compute by hand. This project will use Robotran to evaluate the internal forces of each arms and the acceleration of the user. Keywords :Merry-go-round Motivation Because the merry-go-round has […]

For this purpose, a vehicle simulator with haptic torque feedback was developed. A steering wheel is connected to a realtime Robotran simulation. This allows to analyze the pilot perception while driving different vehicles. Keywords […]
