Symbolic linearization and vibration analysis of constrained multibody systems

A computer algebraic approach for linearization of the equations of constrained multibody systems is discussed in this paper. Based on linearized differential equations, the Newmark method is applied to calculate steady-state periodic vibrations of the parametric vibration of constrained dynamical models. The numerical calculation is also demonstrated on a model of a mechanism with elastic connecting link.
