Use of MSC.Adams Software Product in Modelling Vibration Sources

This paper presents the methodology of rotating device modelling in order to facilitate correct evaluation of selected, usually malfunction (degraded) states of rotating machines of mechanical systems, especially of gearboxes. The analysis was performed using mathematical models utilising MSC.ADAMS software product to solve the dynamics of a system of bodies. The correctness of the proposed method is verified by qualitative comparison of simulation results with the presented symptoms of malfunction states and also by comparison with real measurement results from technical practice

Multi-Software Platform for Solving of Multibody Systems Synthesis

The paper deals with design and application of multi-software platform for solving of mechanical multi-body system problems. The Adams working interface and open architecture of Matlab programming language enable share common data during parallel run of simulations. This process was used for design and implementation of evaluation algorithm and optimization of technical equipment parameters in terms of their mechanical properties. The goal is to present the mapping process of the working space of the chosen manipulating equipment and application of the optimizing approach to find its geometry parameters. Multi-software technique will be applied for computational realization i.e. Adams and Matlab

Mobility of Multibody Systems in Terms of their Incorrectness

The paper presents examples of incorrectness from the point of view of body and Multibody System (MBS) kinematics. This incorrectness should be kept in mind when modeling Virtual Prototypes (VP) of MBS. During the analysis or synthesis of MBS it is necessary to correctly determine the degree of freedom (DOF) of mechanisms in order to properly design the mechanism. The basic relation for the DOF computation does not include parameters such as special dimensions of links or their mutual configuration and geometric constraints. In many cases, these issues require individual approach, i.e. by analyzing the properties of incorrect MBS to identify the causes of their incorrectness and apply the computation method to the actual mobility. The paper contains samples to illustrate a particular topic

Intelligent Manufacturing Systems in Concept of Digital Factory

This paper deals with selected areas of concept of Zilina Intelligent Manufacturing System (ZIMS), which is developed by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in collaboration with CEIT and other faculties of the University of Zilina. Main research areas realized in the framework of ZIMS cover the basic processes in the entire product lifecycle from beginning to end (PLM - Product Lifecycle Management). In this paper two of these areas will be described - manufacturing system design using progressive digital technologies and utilization of automation and robotics in intelligent manufacturing systems

Probability analysis of dynamical effects of axial piston hydraulic motor

The paper presents an analysis of impact force on stopper screw in axial piston hydraulic motor. The solution contains probabilistic description of input variables. If the output parameters of probabilistic solution are compared with arbitrary values and values acquired by analytical solution, the probability of proper operation of the device can be evaluated
