Combined force-moment actuator for ASAC
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with a recently developed actuator based on piezoelectric bimorphs which are useful for ASAC applications. The actuator takes the form of two channels with pairs of bimorphs. Each of the bimorph transducers in the couple is connected separately so that the actuator can act in both moment and force configurations simultaneously. The control algorithm allows the ratio between the moment and force excitation to be adapted according to the desired mechanical output. The ASAC system using this actuator was tested on a simple structure in the form of a fixed beam. Configurations with maximum attenuation were selected and discussed.

متن کاملThe Force Workspace: a Tool for the Design and Motion Planning of Multi–limb Robotic Systems
The Force Workspace (FW) is a tool for designing mobile robotic systems which apply large forces over large ranges of motion. It can also be used to plan motions that do not violate actuator saturation limits, system-environment force and moment contact constraints such as those due to friction, and kinematic joint limits. The FW is applied to the design analysis and motion planning of a simple...
