A dynamic model is presented in this paper for modeling the translation of a flexible body over another flexible body with three load transmission points between them. The three contact points on one of the bodies continuously change as one body translates with respect to the other. No software tools currently exist for simulating the dynamic response of this two-body system. In the present model, six degrees of freedom are allowed between the two bodies and then contacts are modeled using constraints that account for the relative motion, The small, elastic deformation of each body is modeled using the method of assumed modes. Numerical results presented demonstrate the dynamic interactions. The steps needed for implementation in multibody dynamics codes are outlined. The Mobile Transporter-Space Station system Is a direct application for the present model. References: 19
