Abstract
The modeling of forces in the context of multibody dynamics is undoubtedly challenging and important. Although the reader might be familiar with some of those concepts, their contribution in a general system of dynamics is the main focus of this chapter. We make use of concepts developed in Chapter 3 to extend the formalism of forces in the presence of a treelike configuration of interconnected rigid bodies. To this end, a brief review of the concepts of forces and their classification is presented; then a general form of the representation of those forces in the dynamics of multibody systems is developed.
