... + λ i + ) This expression above can be interpreted as a reduced-order model of the nonsmooth multibody system, where the dynamics have been projected onto the space parameterized by the interface velocities w i . Tight constraint forces are known and are assumed...

... beam model that accounts for the geometric nonlinearity and the nonlinear electrostatic force. A reduced-order model based on the Galerkin method is developed and utilized to simulate the static and dynamic responses of the carbon nanotube. The free-vibration problem is solved using both the reduced...
