“…There are several research works in the field of dynamic modeling of flexible multibody systems (Bauchau, 2011; Benosman and Le Vey, 2004; Boscariol et al, 2017; Shabana, 1997). Modeling, control and some of the most important applications of the flexible manipulators have also been reviewed in Benosman and Vey (2004), Dwivedy and Eberhard (2006), Lochan et al (2016), Castillo-Berrio et al (2017), Kiang et al (2015), Fayazi et al (2019), Khorrami et al (1992), Korayem et al (2012), Nagaraj et al (1997), Korayem and Shafei (2015), Ettefagh et al (2018) and Khodaei et al (2018). Over the past decades, flexible robots have attracted much attention from both engineers and researchers because of their advantages over rigid robots (Castillo-Berrio et al, 2017; Dwivedy and Eberhard, 2006; Kiang et al, 2015; Lochan et al, 2016).…”
