Abstract :
[en] This paper presents some extensions of flexible multibody formalisms for mechatronic applications. The software implementation is realized in a general purpose finite element code, and three specific subjects are discussed: (i) nonlinear model reduction techniques for flexible multibody systems, (ii) integrated modelling of mechatronic systems, (iii) time-integration algorithms for coupled problems. The relevance of those developments are demonstrated for the dynamic analysis and the control design of an experimental lightweight manipulator.
