In particular, a wheeled multi-body system is considered. Here,the state transition of stick-slip between wheel and ground is transformed into a nonlinear complementarity problem(NCP). An iterative algorithm for solving the NCP is then presented using an event-driven method. Dynamical equations of the multi-body system with holonomic and nonholonomic constraints are given using Routh equations and a constraint stabilization method. Finally, an example is used to test the proposed numerical method. The results show some dynamical behaviors of the wheeled multi-body system and its constraint stabilization effects.展开更多
