Modeling spatial motion of 3D deformable multibody systems with nonlinearities. (English) Zbl 1146.70327

Summary: We present a computational strategy for modeling spatial motion of systems of flexible spatial bodies. A new integral formulation of constraints is used in the context of the floating frame of reference approach. We discuss techniques to linearize the equations of motion both with respect to the kinematical coupling between the deformation and rigid body degrees of freedom and with respect to the geometrical nonlinearities (inclusion of stiffening terms). The plastic behavior of bodies is treated by means of plastic multipliers found as the result of fixed-point type iterations within a time step. The time integration is based on implicit Runge-Kutta schemes with arbitrary order and of the Radau IIA type. The numerical results show efficiency of the developed techniques.
