Contact models for the representation of joint clearances in multibody mechanical systems

Two general methodologies for dynamic modeling of joint clearances in multibody mechanical systems are presented throughout this work. In the first approach the elements that compose the joint clearance are considered as colliding bodies and contact-impact forces control the behavior of the joint. A...
