Modelling a flexible slider crank mechanism by a mixed system of DAEs and PDEs
Bernd Simeon · Mathematical Modelling of Systems · 1996
This article provides a basic modelling study for a mechanical multibody system composed of rigid and flexible bodies. Using the example of a slider crank mechanism, a descriptor form approach is introduced which consists essentially of a mixed system of Differential-Algebraic Equations (DAEs) and Partial-Differential Equations (PDEs). Numerical results illustrate the complex relation of modelling and simulation.
