Numerical Model of Contact Compliant Gripping Element with an Object of Handling
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper deals with the problem of numerical simulation of contact between compliant gripping element and rigid object of handling. Compliant gripping element is represented with a rubber suction cap and the handling object is comprised by rigid plate. Contact is researched under various load conditions taking account to chosen material of suction cap that is characterized with nonlinear dependence between strain and stress. For the purpose of the numerical simulation of this kind of solved problem the time-tested MSC MARC software allowing high non-linearity to be taken into account has been used in our department.

This paper aims to study the mechanical behaviour and failure mechanism of intact rocks under different loading conditions using the grain based model implemented in the universal distinct element code (UDEC). The grain based numerical model is a powerful tool to investigate complicated micro-structural mechanical behaviour of rocks. In the UDEC grain based model, the intact material is simulat...

INTRODUCTION Compliant gripping mechanisms are particularly suited for precision manipulation of microand nanoscale objects by virtue of having zero backlash, no parasitic columbic friction effects, and often only requiring one actuator to close two gripping faces symmetrically about a centerline of action. Many previous compliant gripping mechanisms use a parallelogram structure (Fig. 1a) to c...
