Abstract: Co-simulation techniques enable the coupling of physically diverse subsystems in an efficient and modular way. Communication between subsystems takes place at discrete-time instants and is limited to a given set of coupling ...

Abstract: Contact simulation is essential in modeling mechanical systems. The contact models require accurate geometric information, which is determined through collision detection methods. When the mechanical system includes flexible ...

Abstract: One of the major challenges in dynamics of multibody systems is to handle redundant constraints appropriately. The box friction model is one of the existing approaches to formulate the contact and friction phenomenon as a ...

Abstract: Modeling multibody systems subject to unilateral contacts and friction efficiently is challenging, and dynamic formulations based on the mixed linear complementarity problem (MLCP) are commonly used for this purpose. The ...

Abstract: A new framework is developed for efficient implementation of semiempirical terramechanics models in multibody dynamics environments. In this approach, for every wheel in contact with soft soil, unilateral contact constraints ...
