An improved homotopy analysis method (IHAM) is proposed to solve the nonlinear differential equation, especially for the case when nonlinearity is strong in this paper. As an application, the method was used to derive explicit solutions to the rotation angle of a cantilever beam under point load at the free end. Compared with the traditional homotopy method, the derivation includes two steps. A new nonlinear differential equation is firstly constructed based on the current nonlinear differential equation of the rotation angle and the auxiliary quadratic nonlinear differential equation. In the second step, a high-order non-linear iterative homotopy differential equation is established based on the new non-linear differential equation and the auxiliary linear differential equation. The analytical solution to the rotation angle is then derived by solving this high-order homotopy equation. In addition, the convergence range can be extended significantly by the homotopy–Páde approximation. Compared with the traditional homotopy analysis method, the current improved method not only speeds up the convergence of the solution, but also enlarges the convergence range. For the large deflection problem of beams, the new solution for the rotation angle is more approachable to the engineering designers than the implicit exact solution by the Euler–Bernoulli law. It should have significant practical applications in the design of long bridges or high-rise buildings to minimize the potential error due to the extreme length of the beam-like structures.

Explicit solutions to vertical and horizontal displacements are derived for large deformation of a cantilever beam under point load at the free end by an improved homotopy analysis method (IHAM). Quadratic and cubic nonlinear differential equations are adopted to construct more proficient nonlinear equations for vertical and horizontal displacements respectively combined with their currently available nonlinear displacement equations. Higher-order nonlinear iterative homotopy equations are established to solve the vertical and horizontal displacements by combining simultaneous equations of the constructed nonlinear equations and the auxiliary linear equations. The convergence range of vertical displacement is extended by the homotopy-Páde approximation. The explicit solutions to the vertical and horizontal displacements are in favorable agreements with the respective exact solutions. The convergence ranges for a relative error of 1% by the improved homotopy analysis method for vertical and horizontal displacements increases by 60% and 7%, respectively. These explicit formulas are helpful in practical engineering design for very slender structures, such as high-rise buildings and long bridges. Full article

This research intends to further improve the understanding of vibration damage mechanisms in the wrist area and to establish a more effective biodynamic model of the hand-arm system. Scholars have conducted some research work around the influencing factors of vibration response and commonly used vibration transmissibility to characterize the local vibration transmission characteristics of the hand-arm system. In this paper, a hand-transmitted vibration test platform was built according to ISO 10819, and a random combination of four ergonomic factors, namely wrist posture, arm posture, grip force, and thrust force, was used to test the vibration response of six subjects’ wrists; the total vibration transmissibility of the wrist was calculated according to the transmissibility formula. The effect of the four factors on the total vibration transmissibility of the wrist part was comprehensively analyzed, in which the wrist posture was proposed for the first time. The results show that (1) vibration transmissibility of the wrist is not only related to the arm posture, thrust force, and grip force but also related to the wrist posture; (2) the total vibration transmissibility and resonance frequency on the wrist has small correlation with large grip force and thrust force, and the vibration transmissibility of grip force 30 N and 60 N are basically equal in the low-frequency band (from 5–10 Hz to 5–20 Hz); (3) the wrist postures have a significant effect on the total vibration transmissibility at the wrist.

Capturing space targets by space robots is significant for on-orbit service and is a challenging research topic nowadays. This paper focuses on the dynamics and control of capturing a non-cooperative space target by a space robot with a long flexible manipulator. Firstly, the dynamic equation of the flexible space robot is given. The Hertz contact model is used to describe the contact force between the robot and the target. Secondly, an active compliance controller is designed to reduce the capture impact on the robot. Finally, the capture impact on the whole system is analyzed in detail in four scenarios: the combination of two kinds of movement forms and two kinds of relative positions of the robot and the target before capturing. Simulation results indicate that the capturing operation may cause complicated dynamic behaviors such as the vibration of elastic links and the continuous collision of the target. Moreover, the results show that the control method effectively offsets the capture impact on the space robot system. In general, this work lays a theoretical foundation for further study of the dynamic phenomena of the capture process. Full article

Overhung rotors are widely used in the industrial field. However, compared with normal structure rotors, the prediction and control of overhung rotors cannot achieve good performance. The work aims to investigate the dynamical behaviours of an overhung rotor by means of correlation analysis, and find its possible application. In this work, based on a real type of rotor, the dynamic model of the rotor with overhang is established by means of the finite element method. Simulation of the dynamic model with different input positions and support stiffnesses is conducted. Based on the methodology of correlation analysis, by introducing a correlation parameter of a proportion of amplitude of measured signal and imbalance mass, the position which has most effect on the vibration is found. Meanwhile, an experiment on the same type of overhung rotor is carried out to validate the results. The numerical results and corresponding experimental results prove that the overhung node has the most effect on the vibration amplitudes of the measured points. Choosing the overhung node to add trial weight, the overhung rotor can be easily balanced. The theory provides an alternative approach to modal analysis which needs more knowledge of the system.

In order to adapt to the complex and changeable marine environment such as wind, wave, and current, the physical simulation experiment is usually needed in the design of a deep-sea flexible pipeline-laying system. In reality, the flexible pipeline-laying system is very large, and the experimental cost is huge. Therefore, when analyzing this system, it is necessary to carry out scaled model experiments to verify the rationality of it. Taking the flexible pipeline-laying system working under four-level sea conditions as an example, this paper deduces the similarity criteria of the scaled model according to the similarity theory. According to the required experimental site, the sizes and materials of the model are selected, and then the physical quantities of the model and their similarity ratio corresponding to the prototype are determined. According to the physical quantities of the experimental model, the similarity of dynamic characteristics and structural strength between the model and the prototype are verified by Adams and ANSYS Workbench. The research shows that the scaled model and prototype based on similarity theory can meet the established similarity relationship, and the scaled model experiment is an effective way to verify the rationality of the design of a flexible pipeline-laying system.
