Abstract: This paper presents the geometric stiffening effects and the complete nonlinear interaction between elastic and rigid body motion in the study of constrained multibody dynamics. A recursive ...

Abstract: This paper presents an automated and efficient mathematical model for checking the violations of the constraints in the dynamics of multibody systems. The superfluous generalized independent speeds ...

Abstract: In this paper a new theorem for the generation of a basis for the null space of a rectangular matrix, with m linearly independent rows and n (n > m) columns is presented. The method ...

Abstract: An all purpose computer algorithm used in the analysis and simulation of human locomotion is presented. The utility of the program “DYAMUS” stems from its simplicity in defining the initial ...
