Lumped Deformations: a Plastic Hinge Approach

摘要: The design requirements of advanced mechanical and structural systems exploit the ease use powerful computational resources available today to create virtual prototyping environments. These simulation facilities play a fundamental role in study that undergo large rigid body motion while their components experience material or geometric nonlinear deformations, such as vehicles, deployable structures, space satellites, machines operating at high speeds flexible robot manipulators, some exemplified Figure 16.1.
