This book describes new methods developed for modelling dynamics of machines commonly used in the offshore industry. These methods are based both on the rigid finite element method, used for the description of link deformations, and on homogeneous transformations and joint coordinates, which is appl

β¦ Synopsis
The demands of modern science inexorably force the mathematician to explore the nonlinear world. That it is a difficult and often humbling journey with painfully crude maps and rather primitive direction-finders cannot be gainsaid, but in return it can be asserted that it is richly rewarding. The few areas that have been so far examined with any care have been full of surprises and vastly stimulating to the imagination. There is every reason to believe from what so far has been glimpsed that many more surprises lay in store, novel phenomena which will open up undreamt of vistas for mathematics. It is an exciting prospect in an exciting field in an exciting time.

This is the second of two volumes written to introduce the reader to some of the theories and methods which enable us to penetrate carefully and timorously into the nonlinear domain. Fortunately, we have no choice: the only direction is forward. In Volume I we focused on the basic concepts of stabil
