This cluster investigates fundamental theories and computational methodologies that are used in (computer aided) analysis of multi-body systems. The research is based on analytical formulation of dynamics equations for multi-body systems as well as the utilization of numerical algorithms to simulate such systems. Computational mechanics is of high value for the purposes of performance evaluation, sensitivity studies, control system design and model based monitoring. Modeling and simulation of electrohydraulic systems is also considered one of the research directions of this cluster. The research topics in this cluster include:
-
