Abstract
A way is presented of modeling complex mechanical systems, and particularly closed kinematic chains, that are comprised of elastic components. The motion of each link is viewed using a moving reference frame and the zero tip deformation constraint is introduced to define the orientation of the reference frames. That analysis is combined with the differential-algebraic formulation and the equation of motion is given in constrained form. We investigate the effect of the shortening of the projection and show that ignoring it can lead to gross inaccuracies.
