Design of Variable Damping and Stiffness Matrices

چکیده
amping and stiffness control in a telerobotic system allows the programmer to define the master and slave dynamics to suit a given task. Unfortunately, many requirements for good teleoperation produce conflicting choices of desired dynamic parameters for different tasks. It is proposed here that the master and slave damping and stiffness matrices be functionally dependent on b e n d and commanded values of force and velocity, with no previous knowledge of the environment required. A strategy has been devised which provides better quality teleoperation under a variety of circumstances than is achievable with constant dynamics. Tracking in free space and along a surface by the slave can be maintained while impact forces are minimized with this strategy. The variable damping alFig. l.

Damped DQE Model Updating of a Three-Story Frame Using Experimental Data
In this paper, following a two-stage methodology, the differential quadrature element (DQE) model of a three-story frame structure is updated for the vibration analysis. In the first stage, the mass and stiffness matrices are updated using the experimental natural frequencies. Then, having the updated mass and stiffness matrices, the structural damping matrix is updated to minimize the error be...
متن کاملFRAGILITY CURVES FOR STRUCTURES EQUIPPED WITH OPTIMAL SATMDs
In this paper, a procedure has been presented to develop fragility curves of structures equipped with optimal variable damping or stiffness semi-active tuned mass dampers (SATMDs). To determine proper variable damping or stiffness of semi-active devices in each time step, instantaneous optimal control algorithm with clipped control concept has been used. Optimal SATMDs have been designed based ...
متن کاملA Note on Nonproportional Damping
This note deals with three aspects of nonproportional damping in linear damped vibrating systems in which the stiffness and damping matrices are not restricted to being symmetric and positive definite. First, we give results on approximating a general damping matrix by one that commutes with the stiffness matrix when the stiffness matrix is a general diagonalizable matrix, and the damping and s...
متن کاملBase isolator with variable stiffness and damping: design, experimental testing and modelling
Vulnerability in base isolation system of civil structures originated from passive nature of the rubber material raises the urgency of developing smart base isolation system with adaptive and controllable properties, i.e. variable stiffness and damping. To address this issue, this paper presents comprehensive investigations on a novel adaptive base isolator, including design, experimental testi...
