 Multibody System
• A system is defined to be a collection of entities that act and interact together
towards the accomplishment of some logical end.
• Multibody system is defined to be a collection of subsystems called bodies,
components, or substructures.
• A multibody dynamic (MBD) system is made of two or more rigid or flexible body,
joined together through kinematic pairs, which allow relative movement between
adjacent bodies
• The study of MBD is the analysis of how mechanism systems move under the
influence of forces
• The motion of bodies is described by their kinematic behavior. The dynamic behavior
results from the equilibrium of applied forces and the rate of change of momentum
• Many mechanical and structural systems such as vehicles, space structures, robotics,
mechanisms and aircraft consist of interconnected components that undergo large
translational and rotational displacements.

Approaches to Solve MBD System
• Multibody system analysis has been developed based on the achievements of classical mechanics,
which is generally divided into two branches
• Vector Mechanics (Direct Approach to Dynamics)
• Consider the individual particles on the system
• Connecting force and motion on vectors
• Force and momentum are considered as the primary parameters in differential equations of motion.
• can be directly derived by employing the approach of Newton and Euler 2nd law of motion
• Analytical (Lagrangean) Mechanics (Indirect Approach to Dynamics)
• Treats the system as a whole.
• Deals with scalar quantities such as K.E & P.E
• Introducing the concept of virtual work.
• In order to make the concept mathematically consistent, Lagrange utilized the results of D’Alembert, making
possible the systematic analysis of a constrained particle system.

Mass moment of Inertia
• In analyzing the motion of rigid bodies, two types of integrals arise that belong to the geometry of
the body.
• The first type defines
• the center of mass and is important when the translation motion of the body is considered.
• The second type defines
• the moment of inertia that appears when the rotational motion of the body is considered.
𝐼𝑥𝑥 𝐼𝑥𝑦 𝐼𝑥𝑧
• Every rigid body has a 3 × 3 moment of inertia matrix I, which is denoted by 𝐼 = 𝐼𝑦𝑥 𝐼𝑦𝑦 𝐼𝑦𝑧
• The diagonal elements 𝐼𝑖𝑗 , 𝑖 = 𝑗 are called polar moments of inertia 𝐼𝑧𝑥 𝐼𝑧𝑦 𝐼𝑧𝑧

𝐼𝑥𝑥 = 𝐼𝑥 = 𝐼1 = න 𝑦 2 + 𝑧 2 𝑑𝑚 𝐼𝑦𝑦 = 𝐼𝑦 = 𝐼2 = න 𝑧 2 + 𝑥 2 𝑑𝑚 𝐼𝑧𝑧 = 𝐼𝑧 = 𝐼3 = න 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 𝑑𝑚

𝐼𝑥𝑦 = 𝐼𝑦𝑥 = − න 𝑥𝑦 𝑑𝑚 𝐼𝑧𝑥 = 𝐼𝑥𝑧 = − න 𝑧𝑥 𝑑𝑚 𝐼𝑦𝑧 = 𝐼𝑧𝑦 = − න 𝑦𝑧 𝑑𝑚

• The elements 𝐼 are calculated about a body coordinate frame attached to the mass center C of the body
Mass moment of Inertia

• Principal moment of Inertia
• If the local coordinate frame Oxyz is located such that the products of inertia vanish, the local
coordinate frame is called principal coordinate associated M.I is called Principal M.I
• Principal axes and principal M.I can be found by solving
