Abstract: A new method of model-order reduction for the flexible multibody system which undergoes large deformation and rotation is proposed. At first, the flexible multibody system is modeled by absolute nodal coordinate formulation ...

Abstract: Higher order finite elements (FEs) based on the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) may require the use of curvature vectors as nodal coordinates. The curvature vectors, however, can be difficult to define at the ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new four-node incomplete cubic tetrahedral element (ICTE) based on the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) is developed employing both volume coordinate and Cartesian coordinate parameter set. ...

Abstract: Since the thermal load would adversely introduce degradation to the normal operation of spacecraft, resulting in unpredictable thermal-dynamic behavior, thermomechanical coupling problems are important and have been ...

Abstract: The viscoelastic dynamic model of flexible multibody coupled with large rotation and deformation can be described by the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF). However, with the increase of degrees-of-freedom, the ...

Abstract: In this paper, a rational absolute nodal coordinate formulation (RANCF) thin plate element is developed and its use in the analysis of curved geometry is demonstrated. RANCF finite elements are the rational counterpart of ...

Abstract: The development of new and complex vehicle models using the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) and multibody systems (MBS) algorithms is discussed in this paper. It is shown how a continuumbased finite element ...

Abstract: In contact analysis, reducing the computing time has been an issue under the premise of ensuring calculation accuracy around the region with violent stress changes. To improve computational efficiency for contact analysis ...
