Abstract
After having seen several different approaches for the numerical solution of constrained mechanical systems, we are interested in their efficiency when applied to a concrete situation. We consider two particular multibody mechanisms with constraints, one nonstiff and one stiff. General references for the computation of mechanical systems are Haug (1989) and Roberson & Schwertassek (1988).
Dynamics of multibody systems is of great importance in the fields of robotics, biomechanics, spacecraft control, road and rail vehicle design, and dynamics of machinery.
