Abstract
Some open questions arising in the dynamical formulation ofsystems of hinge-connected flexible bodies are discussed. The first one deals with the choice of the 'floating reference frame' associated to abody undergoing large rigid body motions but small elastic deformations.The second one concerns the so-called geometric stiffening (orcentrifugal stiffening) effects. The last problem is concerned with theeventual appearance of higher-order terms in the kinetic energy of thesystem for large rates and large accelerations.
