Model based simulation in vehicle system dynamics relies on advanced methods for model setup, robust and efficient numerical solution techniques and powerful simulation tools for industrial applications. Most frequently the mechanical components are described by rigid or flexible multi-body system models that interact with electrical, hydraulic and other system components [1, 2], see also [3] f...

This paper investigates the kinematics and dynamics of multi-rigid-body systems in screw form. The Newton–Euler equations are established coordinates. All forces torques system can be solved straightforwardly since they explicit form displacement acceleration unified matrix form, which associates with variable velocity. A one-step numerical algorithm only is needed to solve displacements accele...

Cooperative object manipulation control of rigid-flexible multi-body systems in space is studied in this paper. During such tasks, flexible members like solar panels may get vibrated that in turn may lead to some oscillatory disturbing forces on other subsystems, and consequently produces error in the motion of the end-effectors of the cooperative manipulating arms. Therefore, to design and dev...

This paper studies the dynamic modeling method of fold-able multi-body aircraft based on dynamics theory system. Considering as a complete multi-rigid body system, model for free unfolding process after horizontal launch is established. On basis model, coil spring moment and damping flexible connection between flight units are added. Taking certain type three-section wing an example, numerical ...
