Paper on Sensitivity Analysis of Flexible Multibody Dynamics Formulation Published in Multibody System Dynamics

Higher, faster, and further on the one hand, but also safer and more efficient on the other hand – this trend demands a great deal of today’s and future engineers. In addition to the challenging maxim, economic aspects lead to the desire to reduce time to market of products required to master today’s challenges, which pushes society away from physical towards virtual prototyping, i.e., the use of digital twins. Flexible multibody dynamics simulations are powerful tools to realistically analyse real-world devices in their intended operating environment. If you are interested in efficient flexible multibody dynamics simulations, e.g., for optimization purposes, you should check out our latest research on analytical derivatives of the floating frame of reference formulation: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11044-022-09858-5.
