Abstract: This paper presents a comparative theoretical and numerical study on the efficiency of several numerical methods for the dynamic analysis of constrained mechanical systems, also called in the ...

Abstract: In this paper we present a new numerical method for the computer analysis of spatial mechanisms. This study is limited to the analysis of velocities and accelerations. Results are obtained in ...

Abstract: In this paper a new method for the dynamic analysis of three-dimensional mechanisms is presented. This method is based on the use, as mechanism coordinates, of Cartesian coordinates and components ...

Abstract: In this paper we present an extension to flexible multibody systems of a system of fully cartesian coordinates previously used in rigid multibody dynamics. This method is fully compatible with ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new method for the numerical solution of the finite displacement problem in spatial mechanisms with revolute (R), cylindrical (C), spherical (S), and prismatic (P) pairs is ...
