Early derivations of the equations of motion for single rigid bodies, single flexible bodies, and flexible multibody systems in terms of quasi-coordinates have been carried out in two stages. The first consists of the use of the extended Hamilton’s principle to derive standard Lagrange’s equations in terms of generalized coordinates and the second represents a transformation of the Lagrange’s equations to equations in terms of quasi-coordinates. In this article, hybrid (ordinary and partial) differential equations for flexible multibody systems are derived in terms of quasi-coordinates directly from the extended Hamilton's principle. The approach has beneficial implications in an eventual spatial discretization of the problem.

A variational-based approach is developed to provide a framework for the study of flow-induced vibration. While the model includes experimentally derived functions, there are no ad hoc assumptions or a priori equations that are fit to data.
