This book contains an edited versIOn of lectures presented at the NATO ADVANCED STUDY INSTITUTE on VIRTUAL NONLINEAR MUL TIBODY SYSTEMS which was held in Prague, Czech Republic, from 23 June to 3 July 2002. It was organized by the Department of Mechanics, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague, in cooperation with the Institute B of Mechanics, University of Stuttgart, Germany. The ADVANCED STUDY INSTITUTE addressed the state of the art in multibody dynamics placing special emphasis on nonlinear systems, virtual reality, and control design as required in mechatronics and its corresponding applications. Eighty-six participants from twenty-two countries representing academia, industry, government and research institutions attended the meeting. The high qualification of the participants contributed greatly to the success of the ADVANCED STUDY INSTITUTE in that it promoted the exchange of experience between leading scientists and young scholars, and encouraged discussions to generate new ideas and to define directions of research and future developments. The full program of the ADVANCED STUDY INSTITUTE included also contributed presentations made by participants where different topics were explored, among them: Such topics include: nonholonomic systems; flexible multibody systems; contact, impact and collision; numerical methods of differential-algebraical equations; simulation approaches; virtual modelling; mechatronic design; control; biomechanics; space structures and vehicle dynamics. These presentations have been reviewed and a selection will be published in this volume, and in special issues of the journals Multibody System Dynamics and Mechanics of Structures and Machines.

Multibody system dynamics is based on classical mechanics and its engineering applications ranging from mechanisms, gyroscopes, satellites and robots to biomechanics and vehicle engineering. Multibody systems dynamics is characterized by algorithms or formalisms, respectively, ready for computer implementation. The simulation of multibody systems demands for adequate dynamic models and takes into account various phenomena. Classical dynamics does not regard all nonlinear effects that appear as a result of the action of multibody systems, as well as their mutual interaction. The virtual prototyping and dynamic modeling of such systems are, from an economical point of view, perspective fields of scientific investigations having in mind the huge expenses for their design and manufacturing. Complex multibody systems composed of rigid and flexible bodies performing spatial motion and various complex tasks are up-to-date objects of virtual prototyping. As a result simulation and animation featuring virtual reality are most important. Recent research fields in multibody dynamics include standardization of data, coupling with CAD systems, parameter identification, real-time animation, contact and impact problems, extension to electronic and mechatronic systems, optimal system design, strength analysis and interaction with fluids. Further, there is a strong interest on multibody systems in analytical and numerical mathematics resulting in reduction methods for the rigorous treatment of simple models and special integration codes for Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) and Differential Algebraic Equation (DAE) representations supporting the numerical efficiency. New software engineering tools with modular approaches improve the efficiency still required for the more demanding needs in biomechanics, robotics and vehicle dynamics.
