A review of the current use of multibody dynamics methods in the analysis of the dynamics of
vehicles is given. Railway vehicle dynamics as well as road vehicle dynamics are …

The robot kinematic reliability analysis methods based on parts or the whole machine have
defects in accuracy and efficiency. Therefore, the paper proposes an efficient method to …

Dynamic modelling is a comprehensive topic in the area of multibody systems. Particularly,
for parallel mechanisms, a great number of approaches have already been proposed in the …

Abstract The Modular Modeling Methodology (MMM) is a general approach, applicable for
holonomic or nonholonomic multibody systems, which allows the integrated use of libraries …

Abstract Intervention Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (I-AUVs), also known as Underwater
Vehicle Manipulator Systems (UVMSs), are an alternative for reducing costs and increasing …

During the last two decades, parallel robots have become more ubiquitous, employed in a
great variety of sectors, from food to aerospace industries. In fact, they are much more …

This paper proposes a novel approach to the modelling of lumped-parameter dynamic
systems, based on representing them by hierarchies of mathematical models of increasing …

During the last two decades, parallel robots have become more ubiquitous, employed in a
great variety of sectors, from food to aerospace industries. In fact, they are much more …

Parallel manipulators offer advantages of high speed, precision and rigidity in comparison to
serial robots, and these prospective benefits have attracted the attention of many …

This paper aims to contribute to formulations of mathematical models for finite-DOF systems
based on the Gauss's principle of least constraint. A new theorem allows to extend the …
