In this work we present a multibody dynamics system composed of geometrically exact non-linear beams with inelastic behavior, representing flexible system components.

A good understanding of multibody dynamics is paramount for designing effective controllers. There are many ways to learn multibody dynamics. Reading a textbook on this topic or taking a course from the …

Dynamic analysis of multibody systems (MBSs) is critical in modern mechanical engi-neering. Multibody dynamics (MBD) enables the precise modeling and prediction of the behavior of dynamical...

Chapter 12 is in fact a comprehensive review of the literature on methods of constrained dynamics applied to the solution of multi-body systems. It is clearly impossible to treat each approach in detail.

We start with a review of unconstrained rigid body dynamics and introduce the basic concepts like body mass properties, state parameterization and equations of motion.
