Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Strength and stiffness assessment of rod mechanisms and robotic manipulators is commonly performed using finite element methods (FEM), while motion-induced inertia is often represented by resultant forces and moments applied at link centers of mass.This simplification is inherently approximate because inertial and gravitational forces are distributed along the link and depend on instantaneous kinematics.The main contribution of this paper is a systematic FEM-ready algorithm
