The status and some recent developments in computational modeling of flexible multibody systems are summarized. Discussion focuses on a number of aspects of flexible multibody dynamics including: modeling of the flexible components, constraint modeling, solution techniques, control strategies, coupled problems, design, and experimental studies. The characteristics of the three types of reference frames used in modeling flexible multibody systems, namely, floating frame, corotational frame, and inertial frame, are compared. Future directions of research are identified. These include new applications such as micro- and nano-mechanical systems; techniques and strategies for increasing the fidelity and computational efficiency of the models; and tools that can improve the design process of flexible multibody systems. This review article cites 877 references. @DOI: 10.1115/1.1590354#

Comparison between flexible multibody tracked vehicle simulation and experimental data

Computational strategies for flexible multibody systems

In this paper, the research background and current activities of multibody researchers in Korea are briefly reviewed. The research trend and the future of the multibody dynamics field in Korea are also predicted. In Korea, there are 36 Korean journals and 4 English journals in the field of mechanical engineering. Searching a database of these journals, one can find more than 100 papers using the keyword ‘multibody'. Recent trends in and applications of multibody dynamics in Korea are summarized from those papers published during the period from the late 1980s to the present. Since most Korean researchers in the field of multibody dynamics obtained their doctoral degrees from universities in the United States of America, the DADS program and the ADAMS program have been used in Korean industries and universities since the 1980s. However, in the 1990s, two multibody dynamics codes (i. e., the RecurDyn program and the AutoDyn7 program)were developed by Koran researchers. These codes are explained, and the ADAMS program and the DADS program are also briefly reviewed.
