Multibody dynamics deals with the study of mechanical systems composed of multiple
bodies, whose motion interactions are governed by the presence of kinematic constraints …

This paper deals with the study and application of a numerical integration scheme based on
the Bézier curves to obtain stable and accurate solutions of the governing differential …

The talocrural and the talocalcaneal articulations collectively form the ankle joint complex of
the human foot and are the focus of investigation of this work. The talocrural articulation …

This paper investigates an innovative negative‐stiffness device (NSD) that modifies the
apparent stiffness of the supported structure for seismic isolation. The NSD comprises a …

In this paper, a mathematical model of the spatial mechanism with a serial closed-loop
structure composed of spherical, revolute and prismatic joints taking into account links' …

This study takes the slider-crank mechanism with revolute joint and translational joint as the
research object and studies the contact force model of the clearance joint and the influence …

Cam design is a fundamental part of the Mechanism and Machine Theory (MMT) and is
included in the vast majority of MMT books. Cam profile design is usually determined with …

In the dynamic analysis of flexible multibody systems, Hamiltonian formulations offer
advantages in numerical stabilization and systematic handling of systems with varying mass …

Multibody simulation of heavy machinery such as excavators, wheel loaders, and tractors is
highly influenced by parameters of hydraulic components such as the control valves. The …

The formulation of (possibly redundantly) constrained system dynamics using coordinate
projection onto a subspace locally tangent to the constraint manifold is revisited using the …
