This paper presents the development of a dynamic model for planar multibody systems with clearance joints, using various models to describe the dynamic characteristics of clearance joints and verifying the correctness and effectiveness of the method through experiments.
Clearance is inevitable for manufacture and assembly in the revolute joints of multibody systems. Excessive value of joint clearance will lead to the poor dynamic performance of mechanism, namely noise, vibration and fatigue failure. This paper presents the development of a dynamic model for planar multibody systems with clearance joints. Based on the continuous contact law, the contact force model proposed by Lankarani and Nikravesh is employed to describe the contact-impact phenomenon between pin and hole. And, the incorporation of the friction influence on revolute joint clearance is conducted by a modified friction force model. According to the geometric relationship between contact elements, the kinematics of the multibody systems is mapped into the global coordinate systems. Additionally, an experimental test platform is set up whereby a slider-crank mechanism with two clearance joints is used as an example to demonstrate the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed approach. Finally, the effects of joint clearance on the dynamic characteristics of planar multibody systems are investigated.
