Abstract: The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive review of the finite element absolute nodal coordinate formulation, which can be used to obtain efficient solutions to large deformation problems of constrained multibody ...

Abstract: Preparing simulation-driven surrogates for a coupled mechanical system can be challenging because the associated mechanical and actuator dynamics demand high-fidelity numerical solutions. Proposed here is a universal ...

Abstract: This study investigates the use of linear-regression-based identification in rigid multibody system applications. A multibody system model, originally described with differential-algebraic equations (DAE), is transformed ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a new planar gradient deficient beam element based on the absolute nodal coordinate formulation. In the proposed formulation, the centerline position is interpolated using cubic polynomials while shear ...
