Contact mechanics for dynamical systems: a comprehensive review

View document

Bibliographic Details
Summary:This work reviews the main techniques to model dynamical systems with contact-impact events. Regularized and non-smooth formulations are considered, wherein the fundamental features associated with each approach are analyzed. A brief description of contact dynamics is presented, and an overview of the state-of-the-art of the main aspects related to the contact dynamics discipline is provided. This paper ends by identifying gaps in the current techniques and prospects for future research in the field of contact mechanics in multibody dynamics.
