This paper presents the consistency and stability analyses of the Generalized-α methods
applied to non-linear dynamical systems. The second-order accuracy of this class of …

A hallmark of multibody dynamics is that most formulations involve a number of constraints.
Typically, when redundant generalized coordinates are used, equations of motion are …

This paper is concerned with the modeling of joints with clearance within the framework of
finite element based dynamic analysis of nonlinear, flexible multibody systems. For actual …

A variational formulation of constrained dynamics is presented in the continuous and in the
discrete setting. The existing theory on variational integration of constrained problems is …

The finite element formulation of geometrically exact rod models depends crucially on the
interpolation of the rotation field from the nodes to the integration points where the internal …

This paper deals with the development of computational schemes for the dynamic analysis
of flexible, nonlinear multi-body systems. The focus of the investigation is on the derivation of …
