vehicles is given. Railway vehicle dynamics as well as road vehicle dynamics are …

This fully revised fifth edition provides comprehensive coverage of flexible multibody system
dynamics. Including an entirely new chapter on the integration of geometry, durability …

Computational Dynamics, 3rd edition, thoroughly revised and updated, provides logical
coverage of both theory and numerical computation techniques for practical applications …

The interest on closed-form analytical sensitivity equations based on the classical forward
dynamics formulations, started shortly after the equations were ready and became popular …

This article presents different approaches that can be used for modelling wire ropes in
weight-lifting machines. It is shown that modelling the rope as a linear spring, although very …

The simulation of multibody dynamics in real-time is becoming more and more relevant,
since it is required by the growing and technologically advanced hardware-and human-in …

Designing the geometry of a ship's hull to guarantee a correct anchor maneuver is not an
easy task. The engineer responsible for the design has to make sure that the anchor does …

This article addresses the problems of online estimations of kinematic and dynamic states of
a mechanism from a sequence of noisy measurements. In particular, we focus on a planar …

Sensitivity analysis represents a powerful tool for the optimization of multibody system
dynamics. The performance of a gradient-based optimization algorithm is strongly tied to the …

The sensitivity analysis of the dynamics of multibody systems is a topic that has been
attracting the attention of several researchers for years, particularly due to its value in …
