Abstract:The present works deals with the incorporation of both flexible beam and shell structures into the realm of flexible multibody dynamics. Geometrically exact beam formulations based on classical Simo-Reissner kinematics are suitable for modelling beam-type flexible components in the context of finite-deformation multibody dynamics. So geometrically exact shell formulations are based on Reissner-Mindlin kinematics.In [2], a flexible framework for dealing with flexible structural elements in a multibody context i… Show more
