Some Properties of Motion Equations Describing the Nonlinear Dynamical Response of a Multibody System with Flexible Elements by Maria Luminiţa Scutaru, Sorin Vlase

“…For the study on this kind of systems with rigid motion and elastic elements, numerous models have been elaborated, the main idea being the discretization of the elements and the use of finite element method. Finally, second-order differential equations with variable coefficients are obtained; these equations are strong nonlinear ones due to the time-dependent values of angular speed and acceleration, and they can be linearized considering a very short period of time, in which the motion is considered to be “frozen.” …”
