Abstract：The dynamic model, which is established and solved based on the finite element method, is presented in the paper. Then the dynamic coupling character of the flexible joints and flexible links which exist in the manipulator is studied. The results show that the dynamic coupling effect of the flexible joints and links can not be neglected under large payload.
