Multibody Dynamics Researches in Japan

摘要

Research into multibody dynamics has long been done in Japan. In this paper, recent developments are surveyed from the conference proceedings and the transactions of the engineering societies of Japan. The D & D Conference proceedings and the transactions of the JSME are mainly focused on and the activities of the workshops and the technical committees in the JSME are reported on. Some reviews of other research in the world are also given. The software developments of multibody dynamics in Japan are briefly reviewed.
