Multibody dynamics is the branch of physics concerned with the motion of interconnected rigid or flexible bodies and the forces that are responsible for this motion. One of the fundamental objectives in this field is the automatic generation of the equations governing the motion of a multibody system, given a description of its components and the interconnections between them. This book focuses on the development of a framework for the automatic generation of systems of kinematic and dynamic equations that are suitable for real-time applications. In particular, the efficient simulation of...
