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.
Unique features include:
- A comprehensive collection of the best rigid-body dynamics
algorithms
- Use of spatial (6D) vectors to greatly reduce the volume of
algebra, to simplify the treatment of the subject, and to simplify
the computer code that implements the algorithms
- Algorithms expressed both mathematically and in pseudocode for
easy translation into computer programs
- Source code for many algorithms available on the internet
Rigid Body Dynamics Algorithms is aimed at readers who already
have some elementary knowledge of rigid-body dynamics, and are
interested in calculating the dynamics of a rigid-body system. This
book serves as an algorithms recipe book as well as a guide to the
analysis and deeper understanding ofrigid-body systems.
