This work introduces a surface-to-surface contact description in the context of beam-to-beam
contact. The introduced contact description is formulated in the frame work of the absolute …

This paper introduces a procedure in the field of computational contact mechanics to
analyze contact dynamics of beams undergoing large overall motion with large deformations …

Nonsmooth dynamics algorithms have been widely used to solve the problems of frictional
contact dynamics of multibody systems. The linear complementary problems (LCP) based …

This work presents a numerical method for the solution of variational inequalities arising in
nonsmooth flexible multibody problems that involve set‐valued forces. For the special case …

This paper describes a floating-frame-of-reference-based (FFRF-based) recursive
formulation for flexible bodies. A new definition of the joint coordinate system is introduced …

This paper presents an adaption of the finite-element based beam-to-beam contact
interactions into a finite volume numerical framework. A previous work of the same authors …

A large number of collisions and frictions often occur in multibody systems. These
nonsmooth events lead to discontinuous or piecewise-continuous dynamic equations of …

In this paper, the dynamics of the flexible riser are investigated based on the absolute nodal
coordinate formulation (ANCF). The stiffness, generalized elastic force, external load, and …
