... Abstract In the world of multibody dynamics, models describing the behavior of rail-guided vehicle systems usually start from characterizing the body adhesion to a predetermined path, on which the body keeps a specified orientation associated with the spatial track curve. This is also the case...

... organization of the course into classroom lectures is supported by a multibody simulation software and by the computer-laboratory work of teams of students. Students must build the multibody model of a mechanical system that satisfies given tasks. Then, they must use it as a facility to understand several...

..., which characterize different operating/loading conditions, are embedded into a detailed planar multibody model of chain CVT in order to understand the various friction-induced effects in the system. The mathematical models, the computational scheme, and the results corresponding to different loading...
