This study considers a solar array system as an example to explore the dynamic responses
and wear characteristics of a multi-body system considering clearance joints with solid …

This paper presents a novel method to investigate the dynamics between the interconnected
rigid and very flexible bodies of a deep-sea ROV-TMS with highly coupled dynamics. The …

The nonlinear dynamics of a flexible multibody system with interval clearance size in a
revolute joint is investigated in this work. The system is modeled by using a unified mesh of …

The dynamics and control of a rigid-flexible multibody system with multiple cylindrical
clearance joints are studied via the Absolute Coordinate Based (ACB) method that …

In the early eighties, the author and co-workers created and further developed the natural
coordinates to describe the motion of 2-D and 3-D multibody systems. Natural coordinates …
