Abstract
In Part 1 of this paper, the method of joint coordinate formulation for multibody dynamics was reviewed. The application of this method to forward and inverse dynamics, static equilibrium, and design sensitivity analyses was studied. In Part 2 of the paper, systematic procedures for constructing the necessary matrices for the joint coordinate formulation are discussed in detail. These matrices are; the primary and the secondary path matrices describing the topology of the system, the velocity transformation matrix, and the generalized inertia matrix. The procedures for constructing these matrices and other necessary elements for the joint coordinate formulation can easily be implemented in a computer program for analysis and design process.
