Constraint gradient projective method for stabilization of constraint violation during integration of constrained multibody systems is in the focus of the paper. Different mathematical models for constrained MBS dynamic simulation on manifolds are surveyed and violation of kinematical constraints is discussed. As an extension of the previous work focused on the integration procedures of the holonomic systems, the constraint gradient projective method for generally constrained mechanical systems is discussed. By adopting differentialgeometric point of view, the geometric and stabilization issues of the method are addressed. It is shown that the method can be applied for stabilization of holonomic and non-holonomic constraints in Pfaffian and general form.

Abstract We investigate in this paper the different approaches that can be derived from the use of the Hamiltonian or canonical equations of motion for constrained mechanical systems with the intention of responding to the question of whether the use of these equations leads to more efficient and stable numerical algorithms than those coming from acceleration based formalisms. In this process, we propose a new penalty based canonical description of the equations of motion of constrained mechanical systems. This technique leads to a reduced set of first order ordinary differential equations in terms of the canonical variables with no Lagrange’s multipliers involved in the equations. This method shows a clear advantage over the previously proposed acceleration based formulation, in terms of numerical efficiency. In addition, we examine the use of the canonical equations based on independent coordinates, and conclude that in this second case the use of the acceleration based formulation is more advantageous than the canonical counterpart.

The dynamic response of flexible beams, plates, and solids undergoing arbitrary spatial motions are systematically derived via a proposed approach. This formulation is capable of incorporating arbitrary representation of the kinematics of deformation, phenomenon of dynamic stiffening, and complete nonlinear interaction between elastic and rigid-body dynamics encountered in constrained multibody systems. It is shown that the present theory captures the phenomenon of dynamic stiffening due to the transfer of the axial and membrane forces to the bending equations of beams and plates, respectively. Examples are presented to illustrate the proposed formulations.
