Fast simulation of flexible multibody dynamics with electric-hydraulic drive system

Hardware in the loop simulation (HILS) has been investigated in the field of the multibody dynamics (MBD), which combined the MBD simulation with the actual mechanical system. The fast simulation is necessary for the HILS system in order to require the real time simulation. This paper presents a fast simulation technique using the domain decomposition method with the iteration in the flexible multibody system in which flexible linkage system and electro-hydraulic drive system are coupled with each other.
