Rigid Body Dynamics Algorithms presents the subject of computational rigid-body dynamics through the medium of spatial 6D vector notation. It explains how to model a rigid-body system and how to analyze it, and it presents the most comprehensive collection of the best rigid-body dynamics algorithms to be found in a single source. The use of spatial vector notation greatly reduces the volume of algebra which allows systems to be described using fewer equations and fewer quantities. It also allows problems to be solved in fewer steps, and solutions to be expressed more succinctly. In addition algorithms are explained simply and clearly, and are expressed in a compact form. The use of spatial vector notation facilitates the implementation of dynamics algorithms on a computer: shorter, simpler code that is easier to write, understand and debug, with no loss of efficiency.

This book discusses emerging topics in the area of nonsmooth dynamics research, such as numerical methods for nonsmooth systems, impact laws for multi-collisions, nonlinear vibrations and control of nonsmooth systems. It documents original work of researchers at the European Network for NonSmooth Dynamics (ENNSD), which provides a cooperation platform for researchers in the field and promotes research focused on nonsmooth dynamics and its applications. Since the establishment of the network in 2012, six ENNSD symposia have been organized at different European locations. The network brings together 40 specialists from 9 different countries in and outside Europe and a wealth of scientific knowledge has been gathered and developed by this group of experts in recent years. The book is of interest to both new and experienced researchers in the field of nonsmooth dynamics. Each chapter is written in such a way as to provide an introduction to the topic for researchers from other fields.
