Elastic Multibody Theory Applied to Elastic Manipulators

  • Conference paper
Dynamical Problems of Rigid-Elastic Systems and Structures

Summary

We consider multibody systems with rigid and elastic components and the assumption, that any elastic components or couplings generate only small elastic deformations. The multibody system then performs a nonlinear gross motion determined by the corresponding system without elasticities superimposed by small elastic deviations and vibrations. Paper gives the theory for that case and an application on elastic manipulators.
