MoDeClear: Multibody System Dynamics Methods for the Detection and Monitoring of Clearances in Industrial Machinery

MODECLEAR is a research initiative aimed at providing a solid knowledge background and methodological approaches for the modelling and detection of undesired mechanical clearances in industrial machinery.

The project started in 2023 at the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory (Laboratorio de Ingeniería Mecánica - LIM) of University of A Coruña (Spain). Researchers from Ikerlan are collaborating in its tasks.
