In this paper, a finite element formulation method for a horizontal flexible robot arm with two links is first presented. In the analysis, the kinetic energy of the flexible arm is represented in brief compared with previous methods, and the matrix equation of motion in consideration of the nonlinear forces, such as the Coriolis force, is derived by the finite element method and the variational theorem. Then, the state equation of the mechatronics system consisting of the flexible arm and the position control system is obtained. Secondly, numerical simulations in the case of applying path control based on the trapezoidal velocity curve are carried out by use of the Wilson-<I>θ</I> method, and the effects of the bending rigidity and the shape of the trapezoidal velocity curve on the dynamic characteristics of the mechatronics system are demonstrated.

The frequency responses of an experimental electro-hydraulic position control system and a simulation of the system are compared. Three different valve models are used in the simulation in an attempt to highlight the important parameters of an electro-hydraulic servovalve. It is found that a second order compensated valve model based on steady-state considerations provides a good correlation with the experimental system up to 35Hz and can be used for stability calculations up to 80Hz.

Balancing stiffness and weight is of substantial importance for antenna structure design. Conventional fold-rib antennas need sufficient weight to meet stiffness requirements. To address this issue, this paper proposes a new type of cable-rib tension deployable antenna that consists of six radial rib deployment mechanisms, numerous tensioned cables, and a mesh reflective surface. The primary innovation of this study is the application of numerous tensioned cables instead of metal materials to enhance the stiffness of the entire antenna while ensuring relatively less weight. Dynamic characteristics were analyzed to optimize the weight and stiffness of the antenna with the finite element model by subspace method. The first six orders of natural frequencies and corresponding vibration modes of the antenna structure are obtained. In addition, the effects of structural parameters on natural frequency are studied, and a method to improve the rigidity of the deployable antenna structure is proposed.

For the precision rotor position control of stream selector, a control system based on direct current motor (DC motor) has been constructed. The DC motor, with a high-precision incremental encoder used as the driving force, was assembled with the stream selector rotor through a shaft coupling. Following the motor rotation, the encoder generated two-channel quadrature pulses and one channel index pulses. An ultralow-power consumption microcontroller (msp430f2232) received theses pulses and calculated them. The position of the slot was determined by the number of pulses counted from the index pulse. Operator can set and monitored the slot positions of five stream selectors simultaneously through the program which was written with LabVIEW on the host computer. This module featured high reliability and low power consumption compared with the one driven by step motor. Beyond that, it was much smaller and lighter.
