Computer-aided modeling of the dynamic behavior for multi-body branched systems

The paper presents a new way to study the elasto-dynamic behavior of multi-body branched systems developed in the welcoming frame of Computational Mechanics, suitable to a mathematical simulation able to increase their performances. Based on the computer-aided approach and synergistically completed by the Mathematica (R) software symbolic calculus capabilities, this method allows us to generate the equations of motion for any mechanical system that can be described as a certain combination of systems with variable number of branches. As the mathematical model is obtained in numeric and symbolic form, this makes available the further necessary analysis, synthesis and design, as well. The method is applicable to very different kinds of systems as: the automatic milling systems, the valve train systems, the (belt-) conveyor systems.
