چکیده
mechanism, elastic displacement Abstract—This paper has as main purpose to identify the dynamic components of the matrices in the motion equation, combining the motion of rigid body with the one of elastic body. The finite element modeling requires the identification of a proper procedure in order to establish accurate boundary conditions which assure continuous motion in the nodes. Finally, an application on a plane mechanism, a four-bar linkage, with theoretical results for the mathematical models validation is presented. These models are useful for the optimization of robot design and to implement active vibration control for real-time applications.

In this paper a general formulation for finding the maximum allowable dynamic load (MADL) of flexible link mobile manipulators is presented. The main constraints used for the algorithm presented are the actuator torque capacity and the limited error bound for the end-effector during motion on the given trajectory. The precision constraint is taken into account with two boundary lines in plane w...
