This work reviews the main techniques to model dynamical systems with contact-impact
events. Regularized and non-smooth formulations are considered, wherein the fundamental …

The impact is one of the most abundant phenomena in the field of multi-body dynamics
when two or more bodies come in close vicinity and depending on the interaction properties …

Over the last decades, several compliant contact force models have been proposed.
However, no complete and systematic comparison has been done on these models, which …

A general and comprehensive analysis on the continuous contact force models for soft
materials in multibody dynamics is presented throughout this work. The force models are …

The nature of the constitutive contact force law utilized to describe contact–impact events in
solid contact interfaces plays a key role in predicting the response of multibody mechanical …

A new approach to model and analyze flexible spatial multibody systems with clearance of
cylindrical joints is presented in this work. The flexible parts are modeled by using absolute …

The aim of this work is to present a novel accurate estimator for vehicle dynamics. Following
the multibody dynamics approach, a vehicle can be modeled with a high level of detail …

A general methodology for the dynamic modeling and analysis of planar multibody systems
with multiple clearance joints is presented. The inter-connecting bodies that constitute a real …

Discrete element method (DEM) was employed in modeling vibrating screen, in order to
study the effects of different parameters on the process efficiency and the mesh wear. A …

This paper presents a model-based strategy for 3 D deformable object grasping using a
multi-fingered robotic hand. The developed contact model is based on two force …
