Simulation of Deck Crane

2007-10-23T04:10:00.000-07:00

Screenshot of simulation of deck crane:

Used the Lagrangian formulation to derive the equation of motion.
The Denavit-Hartenberg convention is used in specifying the kinematics of the crane's links.
Following is the equation of motion of the suspended cable (which is treated as a spherical pendulum).

phidotdot=-(m*thetadot*l^2*sin(2*theta)*phidot
+2*m*ldot*l*sin^2(theta)*phidot
-m*l*sin(theta)*sin(phi)*sxdotdot
+m*l*sin(theta)*cos(phi)*sydotdot
+k*phi
+ _dampingCoeffPhi*phidot)
/(m*l^2*sin^2(theta)+r);

thetadotdot= (-1.*cos(theta)*cos(phi)*sxdotdot
-cos(theta)*sin(phi)*sydotdot
-sin(theta)*szdotdot-g*sin(theta)
-2*thetadot*ldot
+l*sin(theta)*phidot^2*cos(theta)
-_dampingCoeffTheta*thetadot)/l ;

sxdotdot, sydotdot and szdotdot are components of the acceleration of the suspension point, l is the suspended length. The mass of the load is m, r is the inertia of the spin motion of the load, k is the stiffness of the spin motion. Two damping coefficients _dampingCoeffTheta , and _dampingCoeffPhi were added after the equation was derived using the conservative Lagrangian method.

Article for compit 2007

2007-03-29T10:02:00.000-07:00

A paper on the port simulation functionality of Helios was written for Compit 2007 (Tuscany, Italy April 2007).
Following is a web link to the paper:

Colors on the superposed mesh

2006-12-07T08:55:00.000-08:00

(Touched Helios code after a long time.)
I have been using the same drawing code for the meshes to be colored on the fly and the meshes to be pre-colored. So I kept the display list for the entire 3ds meshes free from glColor??? calls.
Diversified it now so that the background mesh and other preloaded meshes can have their predefined colors.
