The objective of the present paper is to introduce and analyze a particular spatial mechanism as a modification of the Stewart robot. The three limbs of the Stewart parallel robot are replaced by springs. Three hydraulic actuators control translational motion of the mechanism. Kinematics of the mechanism is studied and its static equations are derived and for a special case where external and gravitational forces are neglected, an analytical solution is presented. Also, the principle of virtual work is employed to derive the equations of motion of the proposed mechanism. Based on the dynamical equations, the motion of the system is simulated.

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.

This paper presents a systematic methodology for solving the inverse dynamics of a Stewart-Gough manipulator. Based on the principle of virtual work and the concept of link Jacobian matrices, a methodology for deriving the dynamical equations of motion is developed. It is shown that the dynamics of the manipulator can be reduced to solving a system of six linear equations in six unknowns. A computational algorithm for solving the inverse dynamics of the manipulator is developed and several trajectories of the moving platform are simulated. [S1050-0472(00)00401-3]

A systematic methodology for solving the inverse dynamics of a 6-PRRS parallel robot is presented. Based on the principle of virtual work and the Lagrange approach, a methodology for deriving the dynamical equations of motion is developed. To resolve the inconsistency between complications of established dynamic model and real-time control, a simplifying strategy of the dynamic model is presented. The dynamic character of the 6-PRRS parallel robot is analyzed by example calculation, and a full and precise dynamic model using simulation software is established. Verification results show the validity of the presented algorithm, and the simplifying strategies are practical and efficient.

Based on the principle of virtual work and the concept of link Jacobian matrices, a methodology for deriving the dynamical equations of motion is developed. It is shown that the dynamics of a parallel manipulator can be reduced to solving a system of six linear equations. To demonstrate the methodology, the dynamical equations of a Stewart-Gough platform are derived. A computer algorithm is developed and several different trajectories of the moving platform are simulated.

Some thoughts about different ways of formulating the equations of motion of a four-bar mechanism are communicated. Four analytic methods to derive the equations of motion are compared. In the first method, Lagrange’s equations in the traditional form are used, and in a second method, the principle of virtual work is used, which leads to equivalent equations. In the third method, the loop is opened, principal points and a principal vector linkage are introduced, and the equations are formulated in terms of these principal vectors, which leads, with the introduced reaction forces, to a system of differential-algebraic equations. In the fourth method, equivalent masses are introduced, which leads to a simpler system of principal points and principal vectors. By considering the links as pseudorigid bodies that can have a uniform planar dilatation, a compact form of the equations of motion is obtained. The conditions for dynamic force balance become almost trivial. Also the equations for the resulting reaction moment are considered for all four methods.

Abstract In this paper, the dynamic modelling of a planar three degree-of-freedom platform-type manipulator is presented. A kinematic analysis is carried out initially to evaluate the initial coordinates and velocities. The dynamic model of the manipulator is formulated using a two-step transformation. Initially, the dynamic formulation is written in terms of the Cartesian coordinates of a dynamically equivalent system of particles. Since there is no rotational motion associated with a particle, then the differential equations of motion are derived by applying Newton’s second law to study the translational motion of the particles. The constraint forces between the particles are expressed in terms of Lagrange multipliers. Then, the differential equations of motion are written in terms of the relative joint variables. This leads to an efficient solution and integration of the equations of motion. A numerical example is presented and a computer program is developed.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to analyze the effect of the gravity force on the impact-induced elastic waves which propagate on a radially rotating rod. The equations of motion of the system are developed using the principle of virtual work in dynamics. The impact load is included by the use of the generalized impulse momentum equations, involving the coefficient of restitution. The system is solved using the Fourier method. The deformation of the rod is supposed to be at any instant a linear combination of a set of shape functions. These shape functions are, in this investigation, the modes of a cantilever beam. The weight of the rod is modeled as a concentrated force applied at any instant at the center of the rod.

The dynamic modeling method for parallel robot based on the principle of virtual work and equivalent tree structure is proposed by taking off the platform and the chains as well as degenerating parallel robot into a tree structure, the closed-form solutions for the inverse and forward dynamics models of parallel robot are derived. The method is applied on kinematics and dynamics analysis of a representative 3-RRR spherical parallel robot.
