Linear coordinates in multibody dynamics

På svenska

Author

Summary, in English

Coordinate representations and equations of motion for multibody systems are discussed from a general point of view. Linear coordinates for flexible, as well as rigid, parts are introduced and their properties are analysed. The mass matrix and strain tensors are calculated in terms of the linear coordinates and equations of motion are formulated for multibodies containing rigid and flexible parts. Linearized versions of the equations of motion are derived.
