A model for the dynamic simulation of flexible bodies subject to non-penetration constraints is presented. Flexible bodies are described in terms of global deformations of a rest ...
This paper demonstrates that techniques in flexible body dynamics can yield surprising results when applied to rigid bodies. The discussion presents a technique for constructing r...
This paper presents investigations into the development of control schemes for end-point vibration suppression and input tracking of a flexible manipulator. A constrained planar s...
