  • Forward and Inverse Dynamics of a Six-Axis Accelerometer Based on a Parallel Mechanism
    sensors Article Forward and Inverse Dynamics of a Six-Axis Accelerometer Based on a Parallel Mechanism Linkang Wang 1 , Jingjing You 1,* , Xiaolong Yang 2, Huaxin Chen 1, Chenggang Li 3 and Hongtao Wu 3 1 College of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China; [email protected] (L.W.); [email protected] (H.C.) 2 School of Mechanical Engineering, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing 210037, China; [email protected] 3 School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing 210016, China; [email protected] (C.L.); [email protected] (H.W.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The solution of the dynamic equations of the six-axis accelerometer is a prerequisite for sensor calibration, structural optimization, and practical application. However, the forward dynamic equations (FDEs) and inverse dynamic equations (IDEs) of this type of system have not been completely solved due to the strongly nonlinear coupling relationship between the inputs and outputs. This article presents a comprehensive study of the FDEs and IDEs of the six-axis accelerometer based on a parallel mechanism. Firstly, two sets of dynamic equations of the sensor are constructed based on the Newton–Euler method in the configuration space. Secondly, based on the analytical solution of the sensor branch chain length, the coordination equation between the output signals of the branch chain is constructed. The FDEs of the sensor are established by combining the coordination equations and two sets of dynamic equations. Furthermore, by introducing generalized momentum and Hamiltonian function and using Legendre transformation, the vibration differential equations (VDEs) of the sensor are derived.

  • Apollonian Circle Packings: Dynamics and Number Theory

Counting problems for Apollonian circle packings An Apollonian circle packing is one of the most of beautiful circle packings whose construction can be described in a very simple manner based on an old theorem of Apollonius of Perga: Theorem 1.1 (Apollonius of Perga, 262-190 BC). Given 3 mutually tangent circles in the plane, there exist exactly two circles tangent to all three. Figure 1. Pictorial proof of the Apollonius theorem 1 2 HEE OH Figure 2. Possible configurations of four mutually tangent circles Proof. We give a modern proof, using the linear fractional transformations ^ of PSL2(C) on the extended complex plane C = C [ f1g, known as M¨obius transformations: a b az + b (z) = ; c d cz + d where a; b; c; d 2 C with ad − bc = 1 and z 2 C [ f1g.

Unlike the Newtonian theory written in terms of fields, gravitation is a geometric phenomena, with space and time forming a space-time manifold that is deformed by the presence of matter and energy. The deformation of this differentiable manifold is characterised by a symmetric metric, and freely falling (not acted on by exter- nal forces) particles will move along geodesics of this manifold as determined by the metric.

Sonin 2001 2 1 Surface Stress So far we have been dealing with quantities like density and velocity, which at a given instant have specific values at every point in the fluid or other continuously distributed material. The density (rv ,t) is a scalar field in the sense that it has a scalar value at every point, while the velocity v (rv ,t) is a vector field, since it has a direction as well as a magnitude at every point. Fig. 1: A surface element at a point in a continuum. The surface stress is a more complicated type of quantity. The reason for this is that one cannot talk of the stress at a point without first defining the particular surface through v that point on which the stress acts. A small fluid surface element centered at the point r is defined by its area A (the prefix indicates an infinitesimal quantity) and by its outward v v unit normal vector n .

Williams II A Slider-Crank mechanism, a 4-bar mechanism, a 2R planar serial robot and a Stewart-Gough parallel manipulator are modeled and simulated in MSC ADAMS/View. Forward dynamics simulation is done on the Stewart-Gough parallel manipulator; Inverse dynamics simulation is done on Slider-Crank mechanism, 2R planar serial robot and 4- bar mechanism. In forward dynamics simulation, the forces are applied in prismatic joints and the Stewart-Gough parallel manipulator is actuated to perform 4 different expected motions. The motion of the platform is measured and compared with the results in MATLAB. An example of inverse dynamics simulation is also performed on it. In the inverse dynamics simulation, the Slider-Crank mechanism and four-bar mechanism both run with constant input angular velocity and the actuating forces are measured and compared with the results in MATLAB.
