...Wolfgang Witteveen; Pöchacker Stefan; Florian Pichler The time integration of a complex multibody system is a time consuming part of the entire evaluation process of a flexible component. A multibody simulation of a flexible crankshaft, for instance, interacting with pistons, con rods, fly wheel...

...Chandrika P. Vyasarayani; Thomas Uchida; John McPhee This paper studies the application of the Lie series to the problem of parameter identification in multibody systems. Symbolic computing is used to generate the equations of motion and the associated Lie series solutions automatically...

... ), which use all components of the gradient at a node, is the good convergence and small computational costs. The neglection of shear deformation is applicable in very thin and cablelike structures, which often appear in multibody systems. Usually in the ANCF, the axial strain is computed using...
