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.
