Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part K: Journal of Multi-body Dynamics

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Multi-body Dynamics is an international multi-disciplinary forum publishing peer reviewed research covering all aspects of system dynamics, comprising an assembly of parts or a cluster of material points.

This constitutes the physics of motion, covering interactions of all material points from scale of minutiae such as small particles to the very large bodies.
