Modal measurements and model corrections of a large stroke compliant mechanism
In modelling flexure based mechanisms, generally flexures are modelled perfectly aligned and nominal values are assumed for the dimensions. To test the validity of these assumptions for a two Degrees Of Freedom (DOF) lar...
Investigation of the stress-strain state of seamless pipe in the initial state
Mechanical properties of the pipeline samples that had been cut in annular and axial directions were investigated. The methodology of modeling and calculation of the real stress-strain state was described. The stable sta...
Real-time human in the loop MBS simulation in the Fraunhofer robot-based driving simulator
The paper encompasses the overview of hardware architecture and the systems characteristics of the Fraunhofer driving simulator. First, the requirements of the real-time model and the real-time calculation hardware are d...
A high performance computing approach to the simulation of fluid-solid interaction problems with rigid and flexible components
This work outlines a unified multi-threaded, multi-scale High Performance Computing (HPC) approach for the direct numerical simulation of Fluid-Solid Interaction (FSI) problems. The simulation algorithm relies on the ext...
Experimental and numerical investigation of radial forces acting on centrifugal pump impeller
The paper presents the results of measurements and predictions of radial thrust in centrifugal pump with specific speed n_s = 26. In the pump tested, a volute with rectangular cross-section was used. The tests were carri...
