... of nonlinear formulations. The substructuring technique was proven to be a valid strategy to account for this problem. The earliest developments of the absolute nodal coordinate formulation were focused on the use of a substructured schem, in which each element uses a local element frame for the elastic force...

... the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) by comparing the results to experimental measurements on beams. Physical experiments with a highspeed camera were carried out to capture the large displacement of the beam and to verify the results of computer simulations. To consider the damping forces...

... with the help of simulation using the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF); the equilibriums are found unstable. The reason of instability is explained using a variational principle. Analysis of 3D motion in the rotating frame shows that Coriolis inertia forces can stabilize the motion. 3D numerical...
