PROCEEDINGS OF THE INSTITUTION OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS PART K-JOURNAL OF MULTI-BODY DYNAMICS

The Journal of Multi-body Dynamics is an international multi-disciplinary forum publishing peer reviewed research covering all aspects of system dynamics, comprising an assembly of parts or a cluster of material points. This constitutes the physics of motion, covering interactions of all material points from scale of minutiae such as small particles to the very large bodies. The emphasis in the Journal is put upon the analysis of mechanical multi-body systems, but not exclusively. In the case of mechanical systems, all forms of vehicles, machines and mechanisms constitute an assembly of parts that affect the dynamic behaviour of the system as a whole. The multi-physics nature of dynamic analysis often includes interactions of various phenomena, such as large rigid body motions, flexible body oscillations, friction induced stick-slip perturbations, fluid-structure interactions and lubricated contact dynamics. These interactions are described by various force laws, some well understood, but others particularly in the very small physical scale are subject to ongoing research. All contributions, applied or at the frontiers of science of interacting matter are welcome.The contributions to the Journal should reflect a fundamental approach to the analysis of dynamic systems. Those related to practical engineering multi-body dynamic problems should have a holistic system dynamics approach. Those on design, analysis and experimentation should highlight the interactions between various system components. New techniques of analysis are welcome, as well as practical applications of problem solving methods to industrial systems and products.There have been a wide variety of published papers in the Journal, dealing with dynamics from nano- and micro-scales to those extending to astronomical distances, from Newtonian mechanics to special and general relativity. Within this broad spectrum there has been a large volume of work in the application of dynamics analysis to mechanical multi-body systems.Typical topics covered include:Fundamentals of dynamics analysis, from Newtonian mechanics to Lagrangian dynamics and onto relativistic mechanics, as well as many-body systemsKinetic interactions from Newtonian perspective to the minutiae; in micro and nano-scalesDynamics of vehicles in all forms from automobiles to spacecraftsBearings, rotors and powertrain systemsNoise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)Elastodynamics of all forms of structures and mechanismsKinematics, dynamics and synthesis of all kinds of machines and mechanismsTribodynamics of all types of bearings, transmission systems and powertrains .

《多体动力学杂志》是一个国际性的多学科论坛，出版了涵盖系统动力学各个方面的同行评审研究，包括部件组装或材料点集群。这构成了运动物理学，涵盖了所有物质点之间的相互作用，从微小的粒子到非常大的物体。本杂志的重点是对机械多体系统的分析，但并非仅限于此。就机械系统而言，所有形式的车辆、机器和机械构成一个零件总成，影响整个系统的动态行为。动力学分析的多物理性质通常包括各种现象的相互作用，如大的刚体运动、柔性体振荡、摩擦引起的粘滑扰动、流体-结构相互作用和润滑接触动力学。这些相互作用用各种力定律来描述，有些很好地理解，但其他的，特别是在非常小的物理尺度上，则要接受正在进行的研究。欢迎在相互作用物质科学领域做出的所有贡献。对该期刊的贡献应反映动态系统分析的基本方法。对于实际工程多体动力学问题，应采用整体系统动力学方法。那些关于设计、分析和实验的应该强调不同系统组件之间的交互。欢迎使用新的分析技术，以及问题解决方法在工业系统和产品中的实际应用。杂志上发表了各种各样的论文，涉及从纳米和微尺度到天文距离的动力学，从牛顿力学到狭义和广义相对论。在这一宽广的范围内，动力学分析在机械多体系统中的应用已经有了大量的工作。所涉及的典型主题包括：动力学分析基础，从牛顿力学到拉格朗日动力学，再到相对论力学，以及许多身体系统从牛顿的角度看微观和纳米尺度的动力学相互作用从汽车到航天器的各种形式的车辆动力学轴承、转子和动力传动系统噪声、振动和粗糙度（NVH）各种结构和机构的弹性动力学各种机械和机构的运动学、动力学和综合各种轴承、传动系统和动力传动系的摩擦动力学。
