Abstract
Formulations of translational kinematic constraints between flexible bodies are developed to model deformatioin of flexible surfaces that move relative to one another. Three types of flexible translational articulated joints are presented The joint formulations are illustrated in analysis of prototype systems with translational joints. Global deformation modes and substructure local deformation modes are used and compared in numerical examples.
