Abstract

The dynamic simulation of flexible multibody systems has been a real challenge to dynamists and researchers for the past two decades. Areas of interest include robotics, aircraft dynamics, vehicle dynamics and rotorcraft systems. Over the years, numerous papers have been published, tackling a broad range of theoretical problems. More precisely, the inclusion of geometric nonlinearities in the dynamics has proven to be a major contributing factor in predicting accurately the dynamics of flexible (elastic) beams and plates and optimization, which is a recurrence in variational design.
