Flexible Multibody Dynamics

Flexible Multibody Dynamics is a field that studies how interconnected, flexible components—like beams, plates, or shells—move and interact within complex mechanical systems. Unlike rigid-body models, it accounts for deformations and vibrations, providing more accurate predictions of behavior under dynamic conditions. This approach is used in designing and analyzing devices such as aircraft, robots, and machinery, ensuring they perform safely and efficiently by capturing both the movement of the whole system and the subtle changes within its flexible parts.
