Flexible links are often part of massive aerospace structures like helicopter or wind turbine blades, satellite bae, airplane wings, and space stations. In the present work, a mixed variational statement based on intrinsic variables is derived for multilinked smart slender structures. Equations involved in the derivation do not involve approximations of kinematical variables to describe the deformation of the reference line or the rotation of the deformed cross-section of the slender links resulting in a geometrically exact formulation. Finite element equations are derived from weak formulation, which can analyze large geometrically non-linear problems. The weakest possible variational statement provides greater flexibility in the choice of shape functions, therefore reducing the associated numerical complexities. The present work focuses on developing a single integrated computational platform which can study multibody, multilink, lightweight composite, structural system built with both embedded actuations, sensing, as well as passive links. Validation of static mechanical and electrical outputs from 3D FE simulation and literature proves the efficacy of the computational platform. Dynamic results will be communicated in future correspondence. The computational platform developed here can be applied for monitoring and active control applications of flexible smart multilink structures like swept wings, multi-bae space structures, and helicopter blades.

The long length of sub-sea Electric Submersible Pumps (ESPs) requires a large amount of annular seals. Loading caused by gravity and housing curvature changes the Static Equilibrium Position (SEP) of the rotor in these seals. This analysis predicts the SEP due to gravity and/or well curvature loading. The analysis also interfaces displays the rotordynamics around the SEP. A static and rotordynamic analysis is presented for a previously studied ESP model. This study differs by first finding the SEP and then performing a rotordynamic analysis about the SEP. Predictions are shown in a horizontal and a vertical orientation. In these two configurations, viscosities and clearances are varied through 4 cases: 1X 1cP, 3X 1cP, 1X 30cP, and 3X 30cP. In a horizontal, straight-housing position, the model includes gravity and buoyancy on the shaft. At 1cP-1X and 1cP-3X, the horizontal statics show a moderate eccentricity ratio for the shaft with respect to the housing. With 30cP-1X, the predicted static eccentricity ratio is low at 0.08. With 30cP-3X, the predicted eccentricity ratio increases to 0.33. Predictions for a vertical case of the same model are also presented. The curvature of the housing is varied in the Y-Z plane until rub or close-to-wall rub is expected. The curvature needed for a rub with a 1X 1cP fluid is 7.5 degrees of curvature. Curvature has little impact on stability. With both 1X 30cP and 3X 30cP, the maximum curvature for a static rub are over 25 degrees of curvature. Both 1X 30cP and 3X 30cP remain unstable with increasing curvature.
