CONSTRAINED DYNAMICS COMPUTATIONS
Models and Case Studies
by Bud Fox (The University of Western Australia) , Les S Jennings (The University of Western Australia) , & Albert Y Zomaya (The University of Western Australia)
This book introduces a practical approach to the modelling and computation of real-world systems. Multibody dynamics, planar and spatial modelling, and numerical methods are all pursued to obtain information about the behaviour of various dynamical systems. Each study presents the method of modelling and the ensuing differential equations governing the system behaviour. Integration of the equations yields results which are carefully discussed and which indicate how useful information may be obtained from the study. The studies include planar mechanisms, heavy equipment, automobile crash simulation and a spatial planetary system example. Research students, scientists and engineers will appreciate the practical approach taken in this book.
