Optimum Design and Automated Dynamic Analysis of Flexible Mechanisms

摘要

Flexible Mechanisms such as slider crank and four-bar mechanisms are modeled and their dynamic instability and optimum design analyzed. The primary aim of the project was a thorough understanding and analysis of conditions of dynamic instability in flexible components of mechanisms and robots. Dynamic instability characterizes the behavior when amplitude of vibrations have a tendency to become unbounded with the passage of time. Other aims of the study included the optimal design of mechanisms on the basis of flexibility and control of stresses and deflections.
