Three formulations for a flexible spatial beam element for dynamic analysis are compared: a Timoshenko beam with large displacements and rotations, a fully parametrized element according to the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF), and an ANCF element based on an elastic line approach. In the last formulation, the shear locking of the antisymmetric bending mode is avoided by the application of either the two-field Hellinger–Reissner or the three-field Hu–Washizu variational principle. The comparison is made by means of linear static deflection and eigenfrequency analyses on stylized problems. It is shown that the ANCF fully parametrized element yields too large torsional and flexural rigidities, and shear locking effectively suppresses the antisymmetric bending mode. The presented ANCF formulation with the elastic line approach resolves most of these problems.

The flexible hub-beam system is a typical structure of the rigid-flexible coupling dynamic system. In this paper, the dynamic property of the flexible hub-beam system is investigated. First, based on the dynamic analysis of the flexible beam in the flexible hub-beam system, the dynamic model of a flexible hub-beam-tip mass system is established and researched. Second, the dynamic response of the flexible beam under different external loads, including end concentrated load, end sinusoidal load, and uniform load, is analyzed and calculated. Finally, the influence of magnitude, direction, and type of load on the dynamic response of the flexible beam is also discussed. This research can provide a novel strategy for controlling the maximum stress of the structural components to be lower than the yield stress of the material, and flexible components remain in the linear elastic range even under the condition of high-speed rotation.

Three formulations for a flexible spatial beam element for dynamic analysis are compared: a finite element method (FEM) formulation, an absolute nodal coordinate (ANC) formulation with a continuum mechanics approach and an ANC formulation with an elastic line concept where the shear locking of the asymmetric bending mode is suppressed by the application of the Hellinger–Reissner principle. The comparison is made by means of an eigenfrequency analysis on two stylized problems. It is shown that the ANC continuum approach yields too large torsional and flexural rigidity and that shear locking suppresses the asymmetric bending mode. The presented ANC formulation with the elastic line concept resolves most of these problems.

Piezoelectric materials are used in various applications as active vibration control, fault detection in structures and piezoelectric accelerators, therefore, analysis of such materials seems to be necessary in modern mechanical constructions. In this paper, the dynamic analysis of the beam equipped with piezoelectric patches, used as both sensor and actuator, is presented and the beam deflection due to external inputs (force or voltage) is analyzed via modal analysis method. Then, constructing a model for the flexible beam, by the assumed mode approach, an active vibration control is developed by optimal positioning of piezoelectric patches. Simulation results are also presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the methods proposed for dynamic analysis and active vibration control.

This paper presents a pseudo-static modeling methodology for dynamic analysis of distributed compliant mechanisms to provide accurate and efficient solutions. First, a dynamic stiffness matrix of the flexible beam is deduced, which has the same definition and a similar form as the traditional static compliance/stiffness matrix but is frequency dependent. Second, the pseudo-static modeling procedure for the dynamic analysis is implemented in a statics-similar way based on D'alembert's principle. Then, all the kinematic, static and dynamic performances of compliant mechanisms can be analyzed based on the pseudo-static model. The superiority of the proposed method is that when it is used for the dynamic modeling of compliant mechanisms, the traditional dynamic modeling procedures, such as calculation of the elastic and kinetic energies as well as using Lagrange's equation, are avoided and the dynamic modeling is converted to a statics-similar problem. Comparison of the proposed method with an elastic-beam-based model in previous literature and finite element analysis for an exemplary XY precision positioning stage reveals its high accuracy and easy operation.
