Transfer Matrix Library for Multibody Systems

15.1 Introdution

Applying transfer matrix method for multibody systems (MSTMM) to solve the eigenvalue problem of linear time‐invariant multibody systems, steady‐state response and the dynamics problem of general multibody systems requires the transfer matrices of elements to be gathered into the overall transfer matrix of the system. From the boundary conditions of the system, we can easily compute the dynamics of the system by solving the overall transfer equation and the transfer equation of each element. The transfer matrix of each element has an important feature, that is, the element has the same transfer matrix even in a different system if it has the same connection relationship and motion mode. This feature makes the solution process of multibody system dynamics very simple and convenient. Once the transfer matrix of a certain element has been derived, it can be used for the same kind of elements in different multibody systems.

The transfer matrices of various elements [279–452] are listed in this chapter so readers can check them when they are needed. If the transfer matrix of a new element is not found in this chapter, readers can derive the corresponding transfer matrix using the proposed methods in Chapters 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10, and add it to the transfer matrix library. The transfer matrix library can be used to solve the dynamics problems of various complex multibody systems, including chain multibody systems, branch multibody systems, closed‐loop multibody systems, network multibody systems and controlled multibody systems, for example the eigenvalue problem of linear multibody systems, the steady‐state response of linear multibody systems, the steady‐state response of nonlinear multibody systems, the dynamics of multi‐rigid‐body systems (MRSs), the dynamics of multi‐rigid‐flexible‐body systems (MRFSs) and the dynamics of controlled systems. The library of transfer matrices for multibody systems provides an important tool for setting up dynamic simulation software with powerful functions and high computational speed. This is an important research branch in this field. Readers and experts in other fields are welcome to cooperate in this area by supplying the transfer matrices of new elements in research and engineering which are not listed in this library. The authors will continue to provide the transfer matrices of new elements, and add bricks and tiles to the development of the transfer matrix library for multibody systems, the MSTMM and MBD.

15.16 Coordinate Transformation Matrix

For convenient study, the inertial coordinate system describing the motion of each element may have different orientations. For instance, elements i and i + 1 are adjacent elements in a system. There is an angle between the coordinate system of element i and coordinate system i + 1, and the angle is denoted as ϕ. The state vector of the output end of element i described in the coordinates of element i is c15-i0184, and the state vector of the input end of element c15-i0185 described in the coordinates of element c15-i0186 is c15-i0187. The state vector c15-i0188 is often described in the coordinates of element c15-i0189, that is, c15-i0190. However, c15-i0191 and c15-i0192 are also the same state vectors, but are described in different coordinate systems. The relation between them is

(15.103) equation

where c15-i0193 is the coordinate transformation matrix corresponding to the angle ϕ between the two coordinates.

When spatial motion is studied, the state vector is defined as

The transfer equation is

(15.221) equation

The transfer matrix is

(15.222) equation

where

equation

Adopting the PD controller and modal velocity feedback control on the PZT actuators, the transfer matrix c15-i0293 of the equivalent control element is

(15.223) equation

where c15-i0294 is the feedback parameter matrix related to the feedback from beam 3 to hub 1. For the modal velocity feedback control, that is

(15.224) equation
