Drop test simulation for an aircraft landing gear via multi-body approach
This work deals with the effectiveness of a multi-body approach for the study of the dynamic behavior of a fixed landing gear, especially the research project concerns the drop tests of the AP.68 TP-300 aircraft. First,...
Simulation of moving loads in elastic multibody systems with parametric model reduction techniques
In elastic multibody systems, one considers large nonlinear rigid body motion and small elastic deformations. In a rising number of applications, e.g. automotive engineering, turning and milling processes, the position o...
The accuracy of the reproduction of the lumbar spine elements following CT and MRI projections
The paper presents an analysis of factors influencing the accuracy of reproduction of geometry of the vertebrae and the intervertebral disc of the lumbar motion segment for the purpose of designing of an intervertebral d...
