Abstract: In this paper some existing codes for the determination of joint reactions in multibody mechanisms are first reviewed. The codes relate to the DAE (differential-algebraic equation) dynamics ...

Abstract: The problem of realization of program constraints is considered. The classical theory approach based on replacing the constriant reactions by adequate control forces has been generalized to the ...

Abstract: Practical implications of a general mathematical model of realization of program constraints are investigated. Illustrative examples of different types of this realization are demonstrated and ...
