Abstract
Conventional modal analysis of flexible-joint mechanisms often overlooks motion-induced inertial and Coriolis effects. These effects inherently render the system non-self-adjoint, resulting in dynamic characteristics that differ from those of stationary states. To address this, motion-dependent modal analysis is proposed for flexible-joint mechanisms, where modal parameters are parameterized instantaneously by the states of rigid-body motion. First, a generalized dynamic equation of 2n dimensions is formulated, which incorporates both motor dynamics and feedforward-feedback control. Then, the vibration model is derived through Taylor expansion around arbitrary dynamic equilibrium states. Based on this motion-dependent vibration model with time-varying matrices, state space formulations are developed to define instantaneous modal parameters under arbitrary motion conditions. Subsequently, the influence of rigid-body motion on the vibrational characteristics is analyzed and verified with a 2-DOF mechanism. Finally, the model is applied to calculate the instantaneous modal parameters of a 6-DOF mechanism, verifying that the effect of rigid–flexible coupling is non-negligible under high-speed motion. The results show that the first-order frequency of the system can be reduced by 15.4% under high-speed motion, and Coriolis effects may induce instantaneous negative damping.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Sound and Vibration (JSV) is an independent journal devoted to the prompt publication of original papers, both theoretical and experimental, that provide new information on any aspect of sound or vibration. There is an emphasis on fundamental work that has potential for practical application.
JSV was founded and operates on the premise that the subject of sound and vibration requires a journal that publishes papers of a high technical standard across the various subdisciplines, thus facilitating awareness of techniques and discoveries in one area that may be applicable in others.
