Nonlinear Control of Multibody Flexible Mechanisms: A Model-Free Approach

Manipulation Control of a Flexible Space Free Flying Robot Using Fuzzy Tuning Approach

Cooperative object manipulation control of rigid-flexible multi-body systems in space is studied in this paper. During such tasks, flexible members like solar panels may get vibrated that in turn may lead to some oscillatory disturbing forces on other subsystems, and consequently produces error in the motion of the end-effectors of the cooperative manipulating arms. Therefore, to design and dev...

Flexible multibody modelling for the mechatronic design of compliant mechanisms

In high precision equipment the use of compliant mechanisms is favourable as elastic joints offer the advantages of low friction and no backlash. To satisfy exact constraint design the mechanism should have exactly the required degrees of freedom and constraints so that the system is kinematically and statically determinate. For this purpose we propose the following kinematic analysis using a f...

Robust Control of Nonlinear Flexible Multibody Systems Using Quaternion Feedback and Dissipative Compensation

Validation of a Flexible Multibody Belt-Drive Model

In the past decade the applicability of belt-drives has been extended significantly due to their increased reliability. With automotive engines it is now common to join a large number of belt-drives into a single, long belt-drive with several tensioner pulleys. However, these belt-drives can exhibit complex dynamic behaviors; therefore it is very important to predict the dynamics response of su...
