Dynamics of the Rigid Solid with General Constraints by a Multibody Approach

Covers both holonomic and non-holonomic constraints in a study of the mechanics of the constrained rigid body.

• Covers all types of general constraints applicable to the solid rigid
• Performs calculations in matrix form
• Provides algorithms for the numerical calculations for each type of constraint
• Includes solved numerical examples
• Accompanied by a website hosting programs
