Advanced modelling of flexible multibody systems using virtual bodies
Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science, 2023 When new formulations for the description of flexible multibody systems are proposed, often they imply the use of new sets of generalized coordinates, even if the finite element method is used to describe the system flexibility.

Modeling of parallel manipulators with flexible links and joints driven by electric actuators
Vietnam Journal of Mechanics, 2022 This paper presents the approach of building a mathematical model for a parallel robotic manipulator with flexible links and elastic joints. The links to the base are assumed to be rigid bodies, and the thin connecting rods are assumed to be flexible ...

An unusual tracheal foreign body residing for 15 years: A case report and review of literature
Respirology Case Reports, 2022 Airway foreign bodies are common in children, and usually present as emergencies. However, they may sometimes present late, due to a number of reasons. Chronic lodgement of foreign bodies in trachea is rarer than that in bronchial tree.

Discontinuous Molecular Dynamics for Semi-Flexible and Rigid Bodies
, 2006 A general framework for performing event-driven simulations of systems with semi-flexible or rigid bodies interacting under impulsive torques and forces is outlined. Two different approaches are presented. In the first, the dynamics and interaction rules

Coupled motion analysis of tether with time-varying length and rigid bodies
Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2017 In this paper, we discuss the motion of a tethered system during winding a tether in microgravity. When the tether is being wound, it comes into strong contact with the feeding section of the system.
