Multibody Dynamics: Bridging for Multidisciplinary Applications

Simple or complex systems characterized by large relative motions between its components find in the multibody dynamics formalisms the most general and efficient computational tools for their analysis. Initially restricted to the treatment of rigid bodies, the multibody methods are now widely used to describe the system components deformations, regardless of their linear or nonlinear nature. Th...

Dynamics of Flexible Multibody Systems using Virtual Work and Linear Graph Theory

By combining linear graph theory with the principle of virtual work, a dynamic formulation is obtained that extends graph-theoretic modelling methods to the analysis of exible multibody systems. The system is represented by a linear graph, in which nodes represent reference frames on rigid and exible bodies, and edges represent components that connect these frames. By selecting a spanning tree ...
