Abstract

Algebra Application software Assembly systems Automotive engineering Design engineering Design methodology Nonlinear systems Robotic assembly Vehicle dynamics Vehicles
Symbolic computing can facilitate the application of modern nonlinear system analysis and design methods to engineering problems. Reasonably complex models can be efficiently assembled and manipulated. In this paper we illustrate the symbolic construction and manipulation of a model of an undersea vehicle. While the system considered here is within the realm of hand assembly, doing so is tedious and error prone. On the other hand, it is trivial with the symbolic computing tools described here. More complex, multibody configurations of undersea vehicles and robots can be dealt with using these techniques.
