Description:
This session deals with new advances in modeling and numerical methods for multi-body systems (MBS). It is dedicated to explore theoretical and computational methods in rigid and flexible multibody systems, their applications, and experimental procedures used to validate the theoretical foundations. The objective is to present emerging fundamental approaches used in computer-aided kinematic and dynamic analysis of multi-body systems, as well as methods for synthesis of mechanisms, and to identify future directions of research in the area. In the context of multi-body modeling, the topics of interest include, but are not limited to: new formulations and models in flexible multi-body mechanics; Lie-group, dual numbers, and screw theory based formulations for multi-body mechanics; time-integration methods for constrained multi-body dynamics; contact and impact mechanics; reduced order methods in multi-body dynamics; methods for kinematics synthesis of mechanisms. Advanced modeling applications of multi-body systems in areas as wind-turbines, vehicles, robotics, biomechanics, aerospace engineering, engines, and micro-electro-mechanics, within many others, are also welcome.
KEYWORDS: Multibody-dynamics, time integration, impact and contact mechanics, mechanisms, vehicle dynamics, machine dynamics, computational kinematics
