Received: 10 April 2020 Accepted: 18 June 2020 In this work, the modeling of a single-link flexible manipulator has been done using simmechanics tool of Matlab and treated as a fishing rod. An elastic string is attached to the free end of the rod. A payload is given to the open end of the string for the deflection analysis of the flexible rod. The simmechanics model of the flexible rod has been developed using the lumped parameter approach. Initially, the developed modeling technique has been validated by comparing the deflection obtained from the proposed model simulation and the conventional formulae with particular payload at the free end. Later on, to attain the fishing rod-like structure, the cross-section of the rod has been made taper towards its open end. Then, different loading conditions have been applied to the free end of the string, and the model behavior has been studied. Results obtained from the simulated model are presented and discussed under all the loading conditions.
