- Abstract
Hydraulics is often used to actuate mechanisms in the applications of heavy machinery. In this work, a linearization approach for hydraulically driven multibody systems is presented. The approach allows linearizing the equations of motion of general multibody systems with holonomic and nonholonomic constraints, augmented with the hydraulic equations of the hydraulic subsystem. The derivation of this linearization approach is of interest in many applications, such as the performance of linear stability analyses. The procedure is tested with a three-dimensional multibody model of a hydraulically actuated four-bar mechanism. The validation of the approach is performed by means of the forward dynamics simulation of the linear and nonlinear systems. The results show the power of the approach, obtaining the linearized equations of motion around the equilibrium position of the four-bar mechanism multibody model in terms of the mechanical and hydraulic parameters. A comparison of the proposed procedure with a conventional counterpart approach is included, demonstrating the great accuracy and computational efficiency of the approach developed in this work.
