Multi-Body Systems

Multi-body systems are collections of interconnected objects or parts that move and interact with each other. Examples include a robotic arm with multiple joints, a vehicle with moving parts, or celestial bodies like planets and moons influencing each other's motion. These systems are studied to understand how the components behave together, how forces transfer between parts, and how their combined motion can be predicted and controlled. Analyzing multi-body systems helps engineers design complex machinery and scientists understand natural phenomena involving multiple interacting objects.
