Stiffness and Damping in Mechanical Design

Design of Variable Damping and Stiffness Matrices

amping and stiffness control in a telerobotic system allows the programmer to define the master and slave dynamics to suit a given task. Unfortunately, many requirements for good teleoperation produce conflicting choices of desired dynamic parameters for different tasks. It is proposed here that the master and slave damping and stiffness matrices be functionally dependent on b e n d and command...

THE MODEL UPDATING OF MASS, DAMPING AND STIFFNESS MATRICES

Averaging in damping by parametric stiffness excitation

Stability investigations of vibration quenching employing the concept of actuators with a variable stiffness are presented. Systems with an arbitrary number of degrees of freedom with linear springand damping-elements are considered, that are subject to self-excitation as well as parametric stiffness excitation. General conditions for full vibration suppression and conditions of instability are...

Variable stiffness and damping MR isolator

This paper presents the development of a magnetorheological (MR) fluid-based variable stiffness and damping isolator for vibration suppressions. The MR fluid isolator used a sole MR control unit to achieve the variable stiffness and damping in stepless and relative large scope. A mathematical model of the isolator was derived, and a prototype of the MR fluid isolator was fabricated and its dyna...
