30.3.2.1. Bushing Force

The bushings tend to reduce the high impulsive contact forces by providing cushion and reducing the relative angle between the chain links. In this bushing force, a continuous force model is used to represent the pin connections. This force model is a non-linear function of the coordinates of the two links.
