Abstract
This chapter will discuss some of the widely used techniques for modeling flexible multibody systems (MBS). Among the topics discussed in this chapter are the floating frame of reference (FFR) formulation and the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF). Discussion on the use of the CAD-based methods such as B-spline and NURBS (Non-uniform rational B-spline) will be also provided. The FFR formulation is used to study small deformation problems, while ANCF finite elements are used in the large deformation analysis.
