Preliminary Remarks
Multibody Dynamics (MBD) is one of the most prominent subject of mechanical and mechatronics engineering. It is also the logical sequel to the course in Mechanical Engineering in that it will now be dealt with multiple bodies in planar and spatial motion. In past and future engineers are involved in the development of sophisticated machines. The knowledge of their kinematics and dynamics is always present.
The mechanics of MBD is divided into 2 parts: first Part I describes the kinematics and dynamics of rigid MBS. A second part (Part II) is in preparation for generation of the equation of motion of a flexible MBS.
