Numerical Case Studies

Flexible multibody dynamics has become a key methodology for various engineering fields, and state-of-the-art simulation software offers corresponding modules with powerful libraries for all kinds of applications. Since it would be beyond the scope of this monograph to cover such specific topics to a large extent, we focus instead in this final chapter on case studies that illustrate some of the numerical issues discussed before. As examples for challenging engineering tasks that can be modeled by means of a flexible multibody system, we mention, among many others, the rotorcraft dynamics in helicopter design, the landing of an aircraft, the treatment of dynamic contact and large deformation problems in a multibody framework, and the analysis of ride comfort and handling capabilities in vehicle dynamics.
