Abstract: A series of penalty methods are presented for the dynamic analysis of flexible mechanisms. The proposed methods formulate the equations of motion with respect to a floating frame that follows ...

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 numerical solution of the finite displacement problem in spatial mechanisms with revolute (R), cylindrical (C), spherical (S), and prismatic (P) pairs is ...
