Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of higher order time integration methods for multibody systems with unilateral constraints. After a brief presentation of the mathematical modeling of nonsmooth multibody systems, several estimates on the local error of consistency of the Moreau time-stepping scheme are given. Based on these estimates, an attempt at an adaptive time-step strategy is presented with academic examples. Finally, higher order event-capturing methods are designed by coupling implicit Runge–Kutta schemes and Moreauʼs time-stepping scheme.
