Overview
Robot and Multibody Dynamics: Analysis and Algorithms provides a comprehensive and detailed exposition of a new mathematical approach, referred to as the Spatial Operator Algebra (SOA), for studying the dynamics of articulated multibody systems. The approach is useful in a wide range of applications including robotics, aerospace systems, articulated mechanisms, bio-mechanics and molecular dynamics simulation. The book also: treats algorithms for simulation, including an analysis of complexity of the algorithms, describes one universal, robust, and analytically sound approach to formulating the equations that govern the motion of complex multi-body systems, covers a range of more advanced topics including under-actuated systems, flexible systems, linearization, diagonalized dynamics and space manipulators. Robot and Multibody Dynamics: Analysis and Algorithms will be a valuable resource for researchers and engineers looking for new mathematical approaches to finding engineering solutions in robotics and dynamics.

Reviews
From the reviews: The book deals with the theory of spatial operator algebra which assures a high level of abstraction for the equations that describe the dynamics of the multibody systems. ... The book ends with two appendices and solutions of the exercises proposed in each chapter. The book is very useful to researchers and scientists in the field of the multibody dynamics. ... A perfect reader is one which knows both mathematics and engineering. (Nicolae-Doru Stanescu, International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration, Vol. 16 (3), 2011)

A perfect reader is one which knows both mathematics and engineering. (Nicolae-Doru Stanescu, International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration, Vol. 16 (3), 2011) This book now offers a comprehensive and coherent description of the SOA methodology and techniques, and of the interplay between the mathematical analysis, the structural properties, and the computational algorithms. ... This book is an important contribution to the literature and deserves a wide acceptance by engineers working in the field of multibody dynamics and space manipulators.
