Efficient Iteration methods for Constrained Multibody Dynamics & Symposia

This paper introduces a few iterative algorithms for the governing equations of motion. The algorithms described here cater for a wide range of flexible mechanism models. These iterative processes facilitate the straightforward extension to solve flexible multibody dynamics by including additional constraints. The convergence analysis of the iteration approach is achieved. The paper focuses on the construction and analysis of iteration methods which are effective in cases where the constrained multibody system is index-1 DAEs form.
