The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.4 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.3 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 2.2 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00034 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.46 SJR: 0.333 SNIP: 0.606 CiteScore™:: 3.1 H-Index: 31

ABSTRACT

The work is concerned with the dynamics of multibody systems with flexible parts undergoing large rigid body motions and small elastic deformations. An attempt to evaluate the influence of nonlinear terms with respect to elastic parameters occurring in the global motion of the system is performed. These nonlinear terms come from centrifugal and Coriolis forces related to the rigid rotation of the bodies. Several studies have been made in the past about this problem, and some approximations or simplifications are sometimes suggested. In order to quantify the relative size of these nonlinear terms, a non dimensional analysis is performed, with some assumptions about the order of magnitude of the different parameters occurring in the dynamical system obtained by Kane’s method. A flexible slider crank mechanism is used as a test example.
