The motion of the planar flexible multibody system with large deformation is analyzed by using the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF). For this purpose, flexible multibody systems consisting of beams are considered. In the conventional planar ANCF beam elements, there are two nodes located at the ends. Each element has eight degrees of freedom which consist of four global coordinates and four global slopes. In this study, a planar beam element is developed with quadratic shape functions and new nodal configuration by using ANCF. In the developed element, an additional node is introduced to define the orientation and the shape of the beam so that neither angles nor slopes are used. At each element, six degrees of freedom exist. Since reduced degrees of freedom and quadratic shape functions are used, the element formulation is simplified considerably. Comparisons have been made between the developed beam element and the conventional ANCF beam element to see the performances. Also, four-bar mechanism analyses have been made for small and large deformation cases by using ANCF beam element types and the floating frame of reference formulation.

NEW APPROACH TO THE PATH-INTEGRAL REPRESENTATION FOR THE DIRAC PARTICLE PROPAGATOR
Alıyev, Tahmasıb; PAK, NK (1994-11-15)
The path integral representation for the propagator of a spinning particle in an external electromagnetic field is derived using the functional derivative formalism with the help of a Weyl symbol representation. The proposed method essentially simplifies the proof of the path integral representation starting from the equation for the Green function and automatically leads to a precise and unambiguous form of the boundary conditions for the Grassmann variables and puts a strong restriction on the choice of t...
Thermal convection in the presence of a vertical magnetic field
Guray, E.; Tarman, H. I. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-11-01)
The interaction between thermal convection and an external uniform magnetic field in the vertical is numerically simulated within a computational domain of a horizontally periodic convective box between upper and lower rigid plates. The numerical technique is based on a spectral element method developed earlier to simulate natural thermal convection. In this work, it is extended to a magnetoconvection problem. Its main features are the use of rescaled Legendre-Lagrangian polynomial interpolants in expanding...
FORCED HARMONIC RESPONSE ANALYSIS OF NONLINEAR STRUCTURES USING DESCRIBING FUNCTIONS
TANRIKULU, O; KURAN, B; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; IMREGUN, M (1993-07-01)
The dynamic response of multiple-degree-of-freedom nonlinear structures is usually determined by numerical integration of the equations of motion, an approach which is computationally very expensive for steady-state response analysis of large structures. In this paper, an alternative semianalytical quasilinear method based on the describing function formulation is proposed for the harmonic response analysis of structures with symmetrical nonlinearities. The equations of motion are converted to a set of nonl...
Finite bisimulations for switched linear systems
Aydın Göl, Ebru; Lazar, Mircea; Belta, Calin (2013-02-04)
In this paper, we consider the problem of constructing a finite bisimulation quotient for a discrete-time switched linear system in a bounded subset of its state space. Given a set of observations over polytopic subsets of the state space and a switched linear system with stable subsystems, the proposed algorithm generates the bisimulation quotient in a finite number of steps with the aid of sublevel sets of a polyhedral Lyapunov function. Starting from a sublevel set that includes the origin in its interio...
