The status and some recent developments in computational modeling of flexible multibody
systems are summarized. Discussion focuses on a number of aspects of flexible multibody …

The present work reviews different approaches adopted for modeling the geometrical or
centrifugal stiffening of a beam due to rotation about an axis perpendicular to its longitudinal …

Modeling and analysing multibody systems require a comprehensive understanding of the
kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies. In this volume, the relevant fundamental principles …

Structural mechanics is pivotal in comprehending how structures respond to external forces
and imposed displacements. Typically, the analysis of structures is performed numerically …

To consider large deformation problems in multibody system simulations afinite element
approach, called absolute nodal coordinate. formulation, has been proposed. In this …

This paper presents a modeling approach for the nonlinear flexible dynamics simulation of a
floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT). The system consists of a floating platform, the …

By combining linear graph theory with the principle of virtualwork, a dynamic formulation is
obtained that extends graph-theoreticmodelling methods to the analysis of flexible multibody …

Modeling mechatronic multibody systems requires the same type of methodology as for
designing and prototyping mechatronic devices: a unified and integrated engineering …

In this paper, the aeroelastic analysis of a large scale wind turbine rotor is performed with
the aim of studying transient performance of turbine in extreme wind conditions, such as …

This paper presents a finite-element model for a flexible hub–beam system with a tip mass.
Both viscous damping and air drag force are introduced into this model. The complete …
