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

A good maintenance strategy is essential to keep complex engineering systems safe.
Historically, maintenance has evolved from post-failure repair to preventive maintenance to …

This paper presents a comprehensive review of friction modelling to provide an
understanding of design for durability within interacting systems. Friction is a complex …

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 …

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 new approach to model and analyze flexible spatial multibody systems with clearance of
cylindrical joints is presented in this work. The flexible parts are modeled by using absolute …

Rolling contact wear is a complex phenomenon that might involve different wear
mechanisms (adhesive, abrasive, fatigue and corrosive) and different stress concentration …

This paper conducts a numerically comparative study on dynamic response of a planar
slider–crank mechanism with two clearance joints between considering harmonic drive and …

The failures of the lock mechanism of the aircraft landing gear door can impede the
retraction and extension processes of the landing gear and cause severe accidents; thus …

It is essential to establish a dynamic model of flexible multi-link mechanism with clearance
and lubrication for ultra-precision presses to analyze its dynamic response. Traditional …
