If you look lower down there is further references that may be helpful also.

Dear khalid,

which category of adams do you work on?

and how you wanna calculate natural frequency of moving or vibrating object?

and what do you mean of engine front? can you explain more please?

regards.

Hamid Reza Khodami@ i am working on ADAMS aengine 2013. i am using vibration analysis to calculate the natural frequency. I want to calculate  natural frequency of vibrating object. FEAD (Front End Accessory drive system). did used ADAMS software aengine.

I am not aware of any book covering this topic - but if you want to get an idea of what can be done, look at the Contacs Simdrive website;

These guys started with belt drive simulation and have expanded across engines and transmissions

Roger Stone @thanks for your help but i am using ADAMS software and i want to find papers or book related ADAMS software,

There's 10 volumes for MD ADAMS which published on 2005 i think by mscsoftwares.

If you got access to a big library you can find it out there otherwise you should buy this book cuz i didn't find any better tutorial books available for ADAMS software, especially the field you mentioned. But if you got the engine model i think you can use adams/view to find out it's NF.

Hi,

I don't think using an ADAMS model would be the easiest way to solve your problem. This because if you build an easy model on matlab you are done. Just you can consider a belt drive system composed by the crankshaft pulley, a tensioner and the alternator pulley. Even modeling the belt in a simple way you can have your general system of just somedegrees of freedom instead of hundreds of ADAMS models.

Dear Luca , your idea is really good but the problem is that my work is related with software. Every one did work with matlab and if i use same method so i cant publish paper. I hope you understand my problem now.

Dear khalid

did you find any books from msc publications?
