Description
This
book analyzes several compliant contact force models within the context of
multibody dynamics, while also revisiting the main issues associated with
fundamental contact mechanics. In particular, it presents various contact force
models, from linear to nonlinear, from purely elastic to dissipative, and
describes their parameters. Addressing the different numerical methods and
algorithms for contact problems in multibody systems, the book describes the
gross motion of multibody systems by using a two-dimensional formulation based
on the absolute coordinates and employs different contact models to represent
contact-impact events. Results for selected planar multibody mechanical systems
are presented and utilized to discuss the main assumptions and procedures
adopted throughout this work. The material provided here indicates that the
prediction of the dynamic behavior of mechanical systems involving
contact-impact strongly depends on the choice of contact force model. In short,
the book provides a comprehensive resource for the multibody dynamics community
and beyond on modeling contact forces and the dynamics of mechanical systems
undergoing contact-impact events.
