Graph-Theoretic Approach for the Dynamic Simulation of Flexible Multibody Systems

This paper provides a general description of a variational graph-theoretic formulation for simulation of flexible multibody systems (FMSs) which includes a brief review of linear graph principles required to formulate this algorithm. The system is represented by a linear graph, in which nodes repres...
