Abstract This paper presents a criterion for determining whether or not a flexible multibody dynamic system reveals stress stiffening effects. In the proposed criterion, the eigenvalue variation that results from adding the modal stress stiffness matrix to the conventional linear modal stiffness matrix is examined numerically before actual dynamic simulation. If the variation is sufficiently large for any flexible body, then stress stiffening effects are said to be significant and must be included in dynamic simulation of flexible multibody systems. Since the criterion uses the most general stress stiffness matrix, which can be represented as a function of applied and constraint reaction loads as well as of a system of 12 inertial loads, this criterion is applicable to any general flexible multibody dynamic systems. Several numerical results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed criterion.
