Abstract
The Graph-Theoretic Model (GTM) of a rigid body in three-dimensional space is presented for the study of multi-body systems. Euler parameters which represent normalized quaternions are introduced to specify the angular orientations of rigid bodies. A new type of formulation called Hybrid Formulation is designed to derive the mathematical model of an isolated rigid-body system. A two-body mechanical system serves as an illustrative example.
