Extension of the Iterative Improved Reduced System Technique to Flexible Mechanisms

In the present work the iterative Improved Reduced System technique (IRS) is extended to flexible mechanisms to include the joint constraints. Starting from the two-step method described in [1] by the same authors, we create an iterative method similar to the iterative IRS used in structural mechanics. Finally, the method is applied to a RSCR spatial mechanism to find the natural frequencies.
