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 …

This paper reviews the state-of-the-art methods to perform structural optimization of flexible
mechanisms. These methods are based on a system-based approach, ie the formulation 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 …

A new methodology is proposed for the dynamic analysis of rigid-flexible multibody systems
with ElastoHydroDynamic (EHD) lubricated cylindrical joints. The EHD lubricated cylindrical …
