Research Initiation: Dynamic Analysis of Flexible Mechanisms by a Combined Transfer Matrix Finite Element Method

近年来，许多研究都集中在建模和分析上， 部件的灵活性是一个问题。 等 系统被称为弹性动力学机制。 先前 已经基于有限元方法或基于 传递矩阵法 这个项目将两者结合成一个混合体 方法，试图开发更准确和有效的方法 进行弹性动力学机理分析。 这项研究是在 方向，以更好地了解机制的灵活性的影响。 它 可能有助于理解高阶加速效应， 刚体动力学和弹性变形耦合;更好的分析 也可能导致准确性。

Much research in recent years has centered on the modeling and analysis of mechanisms where flexibility of components is an issue. Such systems are referred to as elastodynamic mechanisms. Previous efforts have been based on either the finite element approach or on the transfer matrix approach. This project combines the two into a hybrid approach in an attempt to develop more accurate and efficient methods for elastodynamic mechanism analysis. The research is a step in the direction to better understanding of mechanismflexibility effects. It may contribute to understanding higher order acceleration effects and rigid body dynamics and elastic deformation coupling; better analysis accuracy is also likely to result.
