Application of Stiffness Decompositions to Synthesis by Springs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sti®ness decompositions originating from two distinct eigenvalue problems are applied to sti®ness synthesis by springs. The resulting free-vector and line-vector syntheses provide a clear geometric explanation of the methods. Numerical examples and algorithms are also provided to verify the results.

Synthesis of Cartesian Stiffness for Robotic Applications
A new, systematic approach to the synthesis of Cartesian sti®ness by springs is presented using screw (spatial vector) algebra. The space of solutions is fully characterized for all sti®nesses realizable by springs. The main result shows that a rank r sti®ness can always be synthesized by r springs. Further, it can also be synthesized by an arbitrarily large number of springs greater than r: Sy...
متن کاملSpatial stiffness realization with parallel springs using geometric parameters
This paper investigates the synthesis of a spatial stiffness matrix using simple line springs. A new algorithm is developed, which enables the selection of constituent springs based on their positions and directions. The constraining space of the line springs is then investigated. It is shown that an isotropic stiffness matrix, in general, can be split into the sum of two rank-3 stiffness matri...
متن کاملA Synthesis Method for Compact Nonlinear Springs with Custom Torque-Deflection Profiles and Bandwidth for Series Elastic Actuators
Historically, series elastic actuators (SEAs) used linear springs as the torque transmitting element in their drivetrains [1]. Use of linear springs requires tradeoffs between desired actuation bandwidth and measurable torque resolution. Nonlinear transmission elements overcome this limitation, enabling variable torque resolution and bandwidth through their deflection range. Many have recognize...
متن کاملA Novel Variable Stiffness Mechanism Capable of an Infinite Stiffness Range and Unlimited Decoupled Output Motion
In this paper, a novel variable stiffness mechanism is presented, which is capable of achieving an output stiffness with infinite range and an unlimited output motion, i.e., the mechanism output is completely decoupled from the rotor motion, in the zero stiffness configuration. The mechanism makes use of leaf springs, which are engaged at different positions by means of two movable supports, to...
متن کاملDecomposition-based Assembly Synthesis Based on Structural Stiffness Considerations
This paper presents a method for systematically decomposes product geometry into a set of components considering the structural stiffness of the end product. A structure is represented a graph of its topology, and the optimal decomposition is obtained by combining FEM analyses with a Genetic Algorithm. As a case study, the side frame of a passenger car is decomposed for the minimum distortion o...
