✦ Synopsis

A mixed-hybrid formulation for stress finite elements is presented. The stresses and the displacements in the domain of the element and the displacements on the boundary are simultaneously and independently approximated using orthogonal functions. The stress approximation functions are used as weighting functions in the weighted residual enforcement of the local compatibility and constitutive equations. Similarly, the displacement approximation functions in the domain and on the boundary are used as weighting functions in the weighting residual enforcement of the local equilibrium equation and of the static boundary conditions, respectively. Legendre polynomials and Fourier series are used to illustrate the performance of the finite element formulation when applied to elastostatic problems.

This paper focuses on the dynamic responses of a flexible deployment system that has a central rigid body and four articulated flexible beams and undergoes locking impact. A hybrid finite segment/finite element model and an experiment are presented for the deployment system. The flexible beam compon
