Analysis of frictional forces in indeterminate enveloping grasps

چکیده
The problem due to the statically indeterminate contact forces arising in indeterminate frictional enveloping grasps is addressed in the paper. First of all, we show that the statical model for the contact forces is incomplete in the sense that the mathematical frictional forces may have an infeasible component. To resolve this infeasibility, we directly derive the enveloping grasp infeasibility condition on the frictional forces based on the recently developed coordinate transformation for frictional enveloping grasps. Then the indeterminate grasp can be analyzed in cooperation with the enveloping grasp feasibility inequality, as shown in a numerical example.

Enveloping Grasp Feasibility Inequality
The enveloping grasp feasibility inequality is formulated in this article using a coordinate transformation based on the concept of frictional degrees-of-freedom. Various analysis and synthesis problems pertinent to enveloping grasp of whole-limb systems can be handled within the same mathematical framework, even under the situation where statically indeterminate contact forces exists.

متن کاملRigid Body Analysis of Power Grasps: Bounds of the Indeterminate Grasp Force
The equilibrium equation of a power grasp cannot determine the grasp force uniquely in general. This paper proves that the indeterminate grasp force is within a bounded hyper-polyhedron not necessarily convex by considering the compatibility with rigid body motion. The maximum friction angle is found at its vertex. Thus, if all forces at the vertices are within the friction cone, then all force...
متن کاملOn computing optimal planar grasps
The quality of a grasp can often be measured as the magnitude within which any external wrench is resistible by \unit grasp force". In this paper, we present a numerical algorithm to compute the optimal grasp on a simple polygon, given contact forces of unit total magnitude. Forces are compared with torques over the radius of gyration of the polygon. We also address a grasp optimality criterion...
متن کاملHyperstaticity and loops in frictional granular packings
The hyperstatic nature of granular packings of perfectly rigid disks is analyzed algebraically and through numerical simulation. The elementary loops of grains emerge as a fundamental element in addressing hyperstaticity. Loops consisting of an odd number of grains behave differently than those with an even number. For odd loops, the latent stresses are exterior and are characterized by the sum...

Quasistatic multi-legged locomotion consists of a sequence of equilibrium postures where the mechanism supports itself against gravity while moving free limbs to new positions. A posture maintains equilibrium if the contacts can passively support the mechanism against gravity. This paper is concerned with identifying and computing equilibrium postures for mechanisms supported by frictional cont...
