The beams with flexible support have translational and rotational degrees of freedom.

For the famous benchmark model of jointed beam proposed by the Sandia workshop on the modeling and simulation of structures with jointed interfaces,a symmetric-modal-model and an antisymmetric-modal-model were developed by the flexible support method in a relative description style separately.

Variable Structure Control for The Slew Maneuvering of A Flexible Spacecraft;

Analysis of structural improvement of flexible shaft of screw drill;

Attitude dynamics of solar wings on spacecraft with a flexible shaft;

Mechanical evaluation of optimized flexible shaft shows that the optimized scheme can precipitously decrease the entire stress-level and thus improve its working life.

A kind of anti-whirl PDC bit designed based on the idea of flexible bit is introduced in this paper and the structure and working principle of it is expatiated.

Elastic stability analysis on variable stiffness drilling string with flexible joint for rotary steering drilling;

Inductive measurement on thin neck of flexible joint;

This paper analysed the factors of generator,which influence the accuracy and surface roughness(SR) of electrical discharge machining(EDM) of the neck of flexible joint.
