In this paper, finding Dynamic Load Carrying Capacity (DLCC) of flexible link manipulators in point to-point motion was formulated as an optimal control problem. The finite element method was employed for modelling and deriving the dynamic equations of the system. The study employed indirect solution of optimal control for system motion planning. Due to offline nature of the method, many diffic...

Load carrying capacity of flat double-layer space structures majorly depends on the structures' imperfections. Imperfections in initial curvature, length, and residual stress of members are all innately random and can affect the load-bearing capacity of the members and consequently that of the structure. The double-layer space trusses are susceptible to progressive collapse due to sudden buckli...

A simple model of a raft made of spaced nano-cylinders is formulated and discussed, in order to improve the understanding of load-carrying capacity of insects and miniature devices that float on liquids. It is shown that mostly the outer cylinders of the raft determine the load-carrying capacity. Therefore, the raft porosity (spacing of the cylinders) is instrumental mainly in increasing the lo...

planning robot trajectory is a complex task that plays a significant role in design and application of robots in task space. the problem is formulated as a trajectory optimization problem which is fundamentally a constrained nonlinear optimization problem. open-loop optimal control method is proposed as an approach for trajectory optimization of cable parallel manipulator for a given two-end-po...

This paper focuses on the effects of closed- control on the calculation of the dynamic load carrying capacity (DLCC) for mobile-base flexible-link manipulators. In previously proposed methods in the literature of DLCC calculation in flexible robots, an open-loop control scheme is assumed, whereas in reality, robot control is achieved via closed loop approaches which could render the calculated ...
