A comprehensive survey of the literature of the most relevant analytical, numerical, and
experimental approaches for the kinematic and dynamic analyses of multibody mechanical …

Friction exists in most mechanical systems, and it can have a major influence on their
dynamic performance and operating conditions. As a consequence of frictional contact …

Multibody dynamics deals with the study of mechanical systems composed of multiple
bodies, whose motion interactions are governed by the presence of kinematic constraints …

Over the last decades, several compliant contact force models have been proposed.
However, no complete and systematic comparison has been done on these models, which …

A general and comprehensive analysis on the continuous contact force models for soft
materials in multibody dynamics is presented throughout this work. The force models are …

This study considers a solar array system as an example to explore the dynamic responses
and wear characteristics of a multi-body system considering clearance joints with solid …

A comprehensive combined numerical and experimental study on the dynamic response of
a slider-crank mechanism with revolute clearance joints is presented and discussed in this …

A general methodology for dynamic modeling and analysis of multibody systems with
multiple clearance joints is presented and discussed in this paper. The joint components that …

The main goal of this work is to develop a methodology for studying and quantifying the
wear phenomenon in revolute clearance joints. In the process, a simple model for a revolute …

The main purpose of this paper is to discuss a method for a dynamic modeling and analysis
