Finite element method of dynamical analysis of mechanisms with flexible links. (Chinese. English summary) Zbl 0937.74070
Summary: We present a finite element method and computer program for dynamic analysis of mechanisms with flexible links. A spatial beam element is introduced, and the motion equations of mechanisms are described by using the principle of virtual power and the concept of elastic line of beam.
