✦ Synopsis

The application of light materials to space structures, aircraft, robots and automobiles has increased the demand for effective algorithms to model and predict the response of structural multibody systems. The understanding of mechanics can assist in developing better design and control strategies. Formulation of mathematical models of a multibody system using manual approaches is a difficult task and prone to errors. For non-linear and/or time-varying systems, numerical formulation provides limited information about physical insight. In this study, a computer-aided symbolic method is used to generate the equations of motion from Lagrange's method. Equations are converted into FORTRAN form ready for simulations and control synthesis. The 4-5th order Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method (RKF45) was used to numerically solve the system of equations. Two examples, namely a slider-crank mechanism and an aircraft model are presented.

## Abstract A dynamic model for geared multi‐body system containing gear, bar and shaft is proposed and a new gear element is particularly developed based on a specific finite element theory. The gear element can take into account time‐variant meshing stiffness, the gear errors, and the couplings b

Finite element modelling is used to study the response of plate structures on which piezoelectric active devices are mounted. Such devices are typically small in relation to the size of the structure which can be modelled as a plate or shell structure. In modelling the response of such devices, it i

Most parameter estimation techniques implicitly assume that it is possible to determine the parameters of the system uniquely if there were no noise in the output. In practice, this is not always the case. Whether or not this assumption is true for a given input-output experiment is the problem of s
