Abstract: The corotational frame method is widely used in the simulation of flexible multibody dynamics. Its core idea is to separate the rigid motion from the flexible deformation so that it can make fully exploit a large number ...

Abstract: Rotation-free shell formulations were proved to be an effective approach to speed up solving large-scaled problems. It reduces systems' degrees-of-freedom (DOF) and avoids shortages of using rotational DOF, such as singular ...
