Abstract
A new algorithm is presented for modeling multi-flexible-body systems in a floating frame of reference formulation. The new method utilizes interpolating splines to model the deformation field of the flexible bodies, and has several advantages over the previous capability in the DCA for modeling articulated deformable bodies. Necessary mathematics is developed and the usefulness of the splines-based DCA is established using numerical test cases.
