Abstract

A new index reduction approach is developed for the inverse dynamics simulation of underactuated mechanical systems. The underlying equations of motion contain both holonomic and servo constraints. The proposed method is applied to a very general and versatile formulation of cranes. The numerical results demonstrate the functional efficiency of the method.
