ISBN-13: 9781138096127
The book “Planar Multibody Dynamics: Formulation, Programming with MATLAB®, and Applications (2nd Edition)” provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and applications of multibody dynamics in a planar setting. The book covers the formulation of equations of motion for multibody systems, including rigid bodies and flexible bodies, and discusses the numerical methods used to solve these equations.
The book also includes a detailed discussion on programming multibody dynamics simulations using MATLAB®, a popular programming language in engineering and science. Readers will learn how to implement algorithms for solving multibody dynamics problems, including forward dynamics, inverse dynamics, and kinematic analysis.
Furthermore, the book explores various applications of multibody dynamics in engineering, such as robotics, biomechanics, and vehicle dynamics. Real-world examples and case studies are provided to demonstrate the practical relevance of multibody dynamics in different fields.
“Planar Multibody Dynamics: Formulation, Programming with MATLAB®, and Applications (2nd Edition)” is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals interested in understanding and applying multibody dynamics in their work.
This edition retains the full content with the added advantage of portability, allowing readers to easily access and engage with the material from any device, whether in a classroom or during fieldwork.
