Design of a 20,000 Pound Variable Stiffness Actuator for Structural Vibration Attenuation
This paper describes the design of a novel actuator capable of protecting a full scale structure from severe load conditions. The design includes a cylinder filled with pressurized nitrogen and uses commercially available components. We demonstrate that the actuator behaves like a spring with an adjustable unstretched length, and that the effective spring stiffness can be changed easily by chan...
متن کاملA Stiffness Estimator for Agonistic-Antagonistic Variable-Stiffness-Actuator Devices
Safe Physical Human Robot Interaction, conservation of energy and adaptability are just the main robotic applications that prompted the development of a number of Variable Stiffness Actuators (VSA). Implemented in a variety of ways, they use various technologies, and feature the most diverse mechanical solutions, all of which share a fundamentally unavoidable nonlinear behavior. The control sch...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
AVASTT: A New Variable Stiffness Actuator with Torque Threshold
Variable Stiffness Actuators (VSAs) emerged as an alternative to conventional actuators in a variety of applications, such as walking robots and service robotics. New requirements, which were obviated in the design of rigid actuators, must be accounted for during the mechanical design of such new devices. Among them, we find the possibility of tunning the natural frequency of the mechanical sys...
متن کاملDesign and Analysis of Two Types of Variable Stiffness Actuator Based on Adjustable Moment Arm Mechanism
This paper introduces the design and analysis of two types of novel inherently compliant actuators. The two actuation systems are characterized by the property that the output apparent stiffness can be varied independently from the position. The two proposed actuators can regulate the stiffness through the adjustable moment arm mechanism with minimum energy consumption. In the first VSA, this b...
