- Additional information
- It’s the world’s first publication presenting a formulation in which perfect joints, clearance/bushing joints and joints with stops share the same kinematic information making their modelling similar and enabling their easy permutation in the context of multibody dynamics. It represents a sound contribution to the state-of-art as the methodology is suitable for most common mechanical joints and is easily extended to many other joint types. The case studies presented demonstrate the need to consider imperfect joints and/or joints with stops in practical applications. These developments have been used in several engineering fields including railways (European Project PantoTRAIN martin.couturier@unife.org), automotive, biomechanics.
