Abstract

The dynamics analysis of link structure, including elastic vibrations, is presented. The two nodes element including large displacement is developed. This element is based on the theory of finite rotation, and includes geometric stiffness. The stiffness matrix and the inertia matrix are obtained from the FEM model by the theory of Guyan’s reduction including large displacement motion. In this paper, we explain the theory of this element and show some examples of analysis.
