In this paper, the kinematics and dynamics of a parallel manipulator with a new architecture supposed to be used as a moving mechanism in a flight simulator project is studied. This manipulator with three independent degrees of freedom consists of a moving platform connected to a based platform by means of three legs. Kinematic solutions for this manipulator at position, velocity and acceleration levels are obtained. Moreover, the dynamical equations of motion of the manipulator are determined using Newton-Euler's equations and applying the natural orthogonal complement (NOC) method. Using kinematics and dynamics and also performing simulation for different manoeuvres of moving platform, the motion and the actuator forces of the legs are obtained.

Asymmetric Nonlinearity

The emphasis of this paper is on nonlinear ship roll motion, because roll is the most critical ship motion of all six modes of motion. However, coupling between roll and the other modes of motion may be important and substantially affect the roll. Therefore, the complete six-degrees-of-freedom Euler’s equations of motion are studied. In previous work (Falzarano et al., 1990, 1991), roll linearly coupled to sway and yaw was studied. Continuing in this direction, this work extends that analysis to consider the dynamically more exact six-degrees-of-freedom Euler’s equations of motion and associated Euler angle kinematics. A combination of numerical path-following techniques and numerical integrations are utilized to study the steady-state response determined using this more exact modeling. The hydrodynamic forces are: linear frequency-dependent added-mass, damping, and wave-exciting, which are varied on a frequency-by-frequency basis. The linearized GM approximation to the roll-restoring moment is replaced with the nonlinear roll-restoring moment curve GZ(φ), and the linear roll wave damping is supplemented by an empirically derived linear and nonlinear viscous damping. A particularly interesting aspect of this modeling is the asymmetric nonlinearity associated with the heave and pitch hydrostatics. This asymmetric nonlinearity results in distinctive “dynamic bias,” i.e., a nonzero mean in heave and pitch time histories for a zero mean periodic forcing, and a substantial second harmonic. A Fourier analysis of the nonlinear response indicates that the harmonic response is similar to the linear motion response.

SUMMARYIn this paper, the inverse dynamics of the 6-dof out-parallel manipulator is formulated by means of the principle of virtual work and the concept of link Jacobian matrices. The dynamical equations of motion include the rotation inertia of motor–coupler–screw and the term caused by the external force and moment exerted at the moving platform. The approach described here leads to efficient algorithms since the constraint forces and moments of the robot system have been eliminated from the equations of motion and there is no differential equation for the whole procedure. Numerical simulation for the inverse dynamics of a 6-dof out-parallel manipulator is illustrated. The whole actuating torques and the torques caused by gravity, velocity, acceleration, moving platform, strut, carriage, and the rotation inertia of the lead screw, motor rotor and coupler have been computed.

Abstract In this paper, the direct kinematics and dynamics, as applied to a three degree-of-freedom planar parallel manipulator, are studied. In the direct displacement problem, the method of virtual removal of kinematic constraints and a technique of four-bar linkage-performance evaluation are applied, so that the problem can be solved efficiently. Moreover, branches of solution may also be controlled in the numerical procedure without involving additional computations. In the dynamics formulation, the natural orthogonal complement is applied, which leads to the algorithmic-oriented equations of motion involving only independent generalized coordinates. A new and simple method is introduced to calculate the natural orthogonal complement and the joint-velocity Jacobian matrices. A fully solved numerical example of direct kinematics and dynamics is included.

Abstract Reducing consumed power of a robotic machine has an essential role in enhancing its energy efficiency and must be considered during its design process. This paper deals with dynamic modeling and power optimization of a four-degrees-of-freedom flight simulator machine. Simulator cabin of the machine has yaw, pitch, roll and heave motions produced by a 4RPSP+PS parallel manipulator (PM). Using the Euler–Lagrange method, a closed-form dynamic equation is derived for the 4RPSP+PS PM, and its power consumption is computed on the entire workspace. Then, a newly introduced optimization algorithm called multiobjective golden eagle optimizer is utilized to establish a Pareto front of optimal designs of the manipulator having a relatively larger workspace and lower power consumption. The results are verified through numerical examples.

Abstract The dynamics of a parallel manipulator with three translational degrees of freedom are considered. Two models are developed to characterize the dynamics of the manipulator. The first is a traditional Lagrangian based model, and is presented to provide a basis of comparison for the second approach. The second model is based on a simplified Newton-Euler formulation. This method takes advantage of the kinematic structure of this type of parallel manipulator that allows the actuators to be mounted directly on the base. Accordingly, the dynamics of the manipulator is dominated by the mass of the moving platform, end-effector, and payload rather than the mass of the actuators. This paper suggests a new method to approach the dynamics of parallel manipulators that takes advantage of this characteristic. Using this method the forces that define the motion of moving platform are mapped to the actuators using the Jacobian matrix, allowing a simplified Newton-Euler approach to be applied. This second method offers the advantage of characterizing the dynamics of the manipulator nearly as well as the Lagrangian approach while being less computationally intensive. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the close agreement between the two models.

This paper is the third in a trilogy dealing with simple, nonholonomic systems which, while in motion, change their number of degrees-of-freedom (defined as the number of independent generalized speeds required to describe the motion in question). The first of the trilogy introduced the theory underlying the dynamical equations of motion of such systems. The second dealt with the evaluation of noncontributing forces and of noncontributing impulses during such motion. This paper deals with the linear momentum, angular momentum, and mechanical energy of these systems. Specifically, expressions for changes in these quantities during imposition and removal of constraints are formulated in terms of the associated changes in the generalized speeds.

This paper presents the design of spatial 3-RPS parallel manipulators from dimensional synthesis point of view. Since a spatial 3-RPS manipulator has only 3 degrees of freedom, its end effector cannot be positioned arbitrarily in space. It is shown that at most six positions and orientations of the moving platform can be prescribed at will and, given six prescribed positions, there are at most ten RPS chains that can be used to construct up to 120 manipulators. Further, solution methods for fewer than six prescribed positions are also described.

SUMMARYThis study addresses the kinematics of a six-degrees-of-freedom parallel manipulator whose moving platform is a regular triangular prism. The moving and fixed platforms are connected to each other by means of two identical parallel manipulators. Simple forward kinematics and reduced singular regions are the main benefits offered by the proposed parallel manipulator. The Input–Output equations of velocity and acceleration are systematically obtained by resorting to reciprocal-screw theory. A case study, which is verified with the aid of commercially available software, is included with the purpose to exemplify the application of the method of kinematic analysis.

This work addresses the optimization of the workspace of a six degrees of freedom parallel manipulator. In this study, The topology of the manipulator is composed of three xy-tables, symmetrically positioned on a circle on a base plane, connected by three legs to a moving platform. Kinematic composition of the manipulator is introduced and kinematic diagram is illustrated. Orientation workspace is investigated using three different orientation representations. XYZ fixed angles representation is selected considering the benefits of its visualization are considered. By using this representation, the orientation workspace is modeled and kinematic circuits of the manipulator are explored. First, optimization is performed without slider limitations. A result table is obtained based on the user defined parameters. Secondly, optimization is performed under slider limitations. The maximal orientation capability is optimized using numerical analysis. The optimized configuration of the manipulator indicates that a 330% increase in orientation capability is achieved, compared to the old configuration.

Constrained dynamic equations of motion of serial multibody systems consisting of rigid bodies in a serial kinematic chain are derived in this paper. First, the Newton-Euler equations of motion of the decoupled rigid bodies of the system at hand are written. Then, with the aid of the decoupled natural orthogonal complement (DeNOC) matrices associated with the velocity constraints of the connecting bodies, the Euler-Lagrange independent equations of motion are derived. The De NOC is essentially the decoupled form of the natural orthogonal complement (NOC) matrix, introduced elsewhere. Whereas the use of the latter provides recursive order n—n being the degrees-of-freedom of the system at hand—inverse dynamics and order n3 forward dynamics algorithms, respectively, the former leads to recursive order n algorithms for both the cases. The order n algorithms are desirable not only for their computational efficiency but also for their numerical stability, particularly, in forward dynamics and simulation, where the system’s accelerations are solved from the dynamic equations of motion and subsequently integrated numerically. The algorithms are illustrated with a three-link three-degrees-of-freedom planar manipulator and a six-degrees-of-freedom Stanford arm.
