Abstract
Many mechanical systems can be effectively modelled by systems of interconnected rigid bodies. The dynamic analysis of such systems can be done by analytical or numerical methods. The analytical me thods as those described for three-dimensional systems by Duffy (1980), have considerably extended the field of application in the last few years, bat the theoretical and practical difficulties are so great that the only alternative to general analysis are the numerical methods. These methods have opened up the possibility of developing general purpose computer programs, like the well known IMP, ADAMS and DADS-3D packages, described by Sheth et al. (1972), Orlandea et al. (1977) and Wehage et al. (1982), respectively.
