"Dynamics of Multibody Systems" shows how to develop general purpose computer programs for the dynamics of multibody systems. It also explains how to minimize stresses in such systems. This is the only text/reference on the topic providing complete and systematic treatment and general techniques for the kinematic and dynamic analysis of multibody systems consisting of rigid and deformable bodies. It shows how to develop and use computational algorithms for the dynamic analysis of deformable bodies in multibody systems. There are end-of-chapter problems.

The fourth edition of Dynamics of Multibody Systems, which introduces multibody dynamics with an emphasis on flexible body dynamics, includes a new chapter and detailed derivations of some important equations. Many common mechanisms such as automobiles, space structures, robots, and micromachines have mechanical and structural systems that consist of interconnected rigid and deformable components. The dynamics of these large-scale multibody systems are highly nonlinear, presenting complex problems that in most cases can only be solved with computer-based techniques. The book begins with a review of the basic ideas of kinematics and the dynamics of rigid and deformable bodies before moving on to more advanced topics and computer implementation. This enhanced fourth edition includes an additional chapter that provides explanations of some of the fundamental issues addressed in the book, as well as new detailed derivations of some important problems. The book's wealth of examples and practical applications will be useful to graduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers working on a wide variety of flexible multibody systems.

Computational Dynamics Most books on kinematics and the dynamics of motion are rooted mainly in classical methods and geared to the needs of physicists. As a consequence, until now, students and professionals in the fields of mechanical and aerospace engineering had no single resource to turn to for coverage of modern computational techniques for solving the engineering problems they encountered. This book fills the gap in the literature while forging a link between classical and computational methods. Computational Dynamics: Introduces all relevant classical techniques and shows how they serve as the foundation of modern computational dynamics Offers in-depth coverage of kinematics and the dynamics of motion in three dimensions with an analytical development that includes Lagrangian and Hamiltonian methods as well as Newton-Euler equations Provides simple, real-world examples and problem sets that help readers to focus on the main concepts and computational methods
