| Abstract: |
| In many multi-body software based on the traditional theories of dynamics of multibody systems, parameters such as the mass, the center of mass and the moments of inertia of a body usually have to be given artificially, which results in many difficulties in practice applications, because these parameters are not easy to obtain especially when bodies are complicated in shape. This paper presented a methodology enables to overcome these difficulties. The main idea is to divide a body into many pieces with regular shape called rigid elements.Two kinds of element, the rigid beam element and the rigid tetrahedron element are constructed in this paper, with the consideration of their ability to represent any solid body. Based on the new methodology, a software with mesh generator was developed, which can obtain the inertia parameters of bodies with any shape automatically. The correctness of present rigid elements was verified by numerical examples. |
