Impacts in Mechanical Systems

An Introduction to Moreau's Sweeping Process.- Dynamic Simulation of Rigid Bodies: Modelling of Frictional Contact.- Stability of Periodic Motions with Impacts.- Contact Problems for Elasto-Plastic Impact in Multi-Body Systems.- Impulse Correlation Ratio in Solving Multiple Impact Problems.

"The book presents and excellent survey on advanced methods required for the understanding of the complexity of impacts in mechanical systems and presents analytical and numerical methods verified by experimental results for the efficient solution of engineering problems. The book is recommended to graduate and postgraduate students, researchers in mechanical engineering, and scientists who are interested in established methods and new ideas for non-smooth dynamical systems."
