SAE Technical Paper Series, 1973
<div class="htmlview paragraph">This paper discusses the current applications of urethane in flexible body parts which for 1973 cars has resulted in designs for bumper covers, bumper to body fillers, and body extensions. The flexible parts are color-keyed extensions of the body surface also matching the car body in luster and texture.

Rigid Body, Flexible Body, and Micro Electromechanical Systems
2012Planar multibody systems, and revolute and prismatic joints with clearance and friction are initially modeled in this chapter with Rapson slide and Andrew’s mechanism as two examples. For modeling spatial multibody systems, the concepts of noninertial reference frame, Euler angles, and coordinate transformations, etc., are introduced.

Flexible body scanning without template models
Signal Processing, 2019Abstract The apparition of low-cost depth cameras has lead to the development of several reconstruction methods that work well with rigid objects, but tend to fail when used to manually scan a standing person. Specific methods for body scanning have been proposed, but they have some ad-hoc requirements that make them unsuitable in a wide range of ...

Flexible automation for automotive body assembly
2008 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering, 2008The automotive industry is faced actually with the challenge to enable their car body assembly lines to produce a mix of several different car models on the same line. A new automation concept for highly flexible multi-body assembly lines is presented that even allows model change on the fly.

Flexible Body Grasping Simulation in ADAMS
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014Analysis of Flexible Body is a difficult problem in system dynamics analysis. In the paper, the basic theory of ADAMS flexible body and some methods of adding flexible bodies to a model are introduced. And build a system simulation model. Through manipulator grasping tomatoes examples verify the effectiveness of ADAMS flexible body grasp simulation ...

Multiple body systems with flexible members
Nonlinear Dynamics, 1990Systems of rigid and flexible bodies undergoing large rigid body motions but small elastic deformations are investigated. In order to get the correct equations of motion one has to consider geometric nonlinearities even in the elastic coordinates. Different possibilities of independently choosing these coordinates are presented. The flexible bodies are

This chapter will discuss some of the widely used techniques for modeling flexible multibody systems (MBS). Among the topics discussed in this chapter are the floating frame of reference (FFR) formulation and the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF). Discussion on the use of the CAD-based methods such as B-spline and NURBS (Non-uniform rational

"GM Suicide": Flexibility, Space, and the Injured Body
Economic Geography, 1998Abstract:While geographers have devoted much attention to the external geographies of Japanese production models, little work has been done on the internal geographies of the production process. This paper explores the relationship between lean production, space, and the body.

Thermoplastic Elastomers for Flexible Body Components
SAE Technical Paper Series, 1976<div class="htmlview paragraph">Thermoplastic elastomers provide a balance of rubberlike properties with easy processing using standard plastics fabrication equipment. Selected physical properties of several types of thermoplastic elastomers are compared including stress-strain, and flexural modulus over a broad temperature range which shows the ...
