Abstract: This paper presents a new approach to optimal design of large multibody spatial mechanical systems which takes advantage of both numerical analysis and symbolic computing. Identification of system ...

Abstract: A computer amenable symbolic computing approach for the synthesis of six different link and geared mechanisms is presented. Burmester theory, complex number algebra, and loop closure equations ...

Abstract: Vibration normal modes and static correction modes have been previously used to model flexible bodies for dynamic analysis of mechanical systems. The efficiency and accuracy of using these modes ...

Abstract: A method for computer-aided design sensitivity analysis of large-scale constrained dynamic systems is presented. A generalized coordinate partitioning method is used for assembling and solving sets ...

Abstract: A singular value decomposition method for efficient solution of mixed differential-algebraic equations of motion of mechanical systems is developed. Differential equations of motion are written in ...
