Maple and the mechanics of multibody systems - Part 2

A large number of domains in mechanics, design, robotics, continuous media mechanics... benefit considerably from formal calculation tools such as Maple. This article starts by detailing how these new tools, capable of conducting successfully tedious calculations, allow for solving integration issues linked to the determination of the inertial properties of solids . The example of the Euler pendulum and that of rolling without the slip of a wheel serve to illustrate the Lagrange equations. The generation and resolution of the differential systems of mechanics and of movement close to equilibrium.
