Abstract Solutions of the vibrations equations are generally obtained, in the linear case, by methods involving either matrix exponential computation or matrix eigendecomposition. However, these methods lead to a loss of symmetry because of the necessary inversion of the mass matrix. In doing so, one can introduce ill-conditioned matrices and, thus, compute eigenvectors with poor accuracy. In order to avoid these inconveniences, our method, which is an extension of Le Verrier-Souriau algorithm, provides solutions to the vibrations equations without inverting the mass matrix or computing eigenvectors. Moreover, we can solve damping systems even when the damping matrix has no specific properties such as the Basile property.

In some areas of application, large multibody systems are encountered which are not completely coupled by kinematic constraints (joints). For these “joint-disconnected” systems, the generalized mass matrix is block diagonal and the coordinate accelerations associated with each block may be solved with independent dynamic inversions. In the absence of a complex (fully coupled) mass matrix, coupling through interaction forces becomes the dominant issue in parallel multibody solutions. An implementation which addresses these issues is described and evaluated on two current parallel platforms. The results demonstrate that inexpensive parallel resources can significantly improve the execution time.
