Analyzing and Optimizing Multibody Systems [PDF]

Mechanics of Structures and Machines, 1992
Optimization of holonomic as well as non-holonomic multibody systems is presented as a nonlinear programming problem that can be solved with general-purpose optimization codes. The adjoint variable approach is used for calculating design derivatives of a rather general integral type performance measure with respect to design parameters.

Design and Multibody Dynamics Modeling of a Novel High‐Static‐Low‐Dynamic‐Stiffness Vibration Isolation Mechanism Based on Euler Buckling Characteristics

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vibration isolation has long been a critical area of research, with the design of isolators based on the mechanical properties of Euler buckling beams representing one of the primary approaches. Traditionally, the focus has been on utilizing the negative stiffness characteristics of a post‐buckled Euler beam in parallel with positive stiffness
