As a consequence, they have large workspaces, high-dynamic handlings, ease of reconfigurability and/or low-cost architecture. Knowing the full state variables of the robot model is usually useful for control and monitoring; however, it is often not directly measured and therefore the development of state observers is essential. In this work a general approach to develop a nonlinear state observer based on an Extended Kalman Filter is proposed and validated numerically by referring to a cable-suspended parallel robot. The state observer is based on a system model obtained converting a set of Differential Algebraic Equations into Ordinary Differential Equations through two different methods: the penalty formulation and the Udwadia-Kalaba formulation.","PeriodicalId":431921,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 10th ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on MULTIBODY DYNAMICS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125610057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By expanding the previous work found in literature, which relied on numerical procedures, this model represents a fundamental block for the construction of parametric multi-body systems in a sub-structuring approach, such as closed-loop kinematic mechanisms. Specifically, this new procedure allows to assemble a linear state-space system by analytically inversing the input-output channels of the original clamped-free TITOP model. This analytical method presents the advantage of avoiding non-physical behaviors introduced by numerical inversions as well as removing the need to reduce the quasi-zero poles associated with the nonanalytical model. This paper presents the mathematical formulation of the system, as well as the formalism behind the method, and an illustrative case study to showcase the advantages of this approach.","PeriodicalId":431921,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 10th ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on MULTIBODY DYNAMICS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126867256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dimensional reduction to a curve and a vector field along it decreases the involved number of degrees of freedom. Local coordinates in form of a relatively parallel frame allow us to simplify the geometric constraints occurring in the model and prevent instabilities caused by points or segments of zero curvature. The core of this work is to prove equivalence of these requirements and the isometry of the transformation. Subsequently, we derive the one-dimensional bending energy functional for rectangular strips. In order to compute the equilibrium state of a static shell, we minimise a penalised version of this functional over the finitely many degrees of freedom stemming from an isogeometric discretisation. Several example strips clamped at both ends illustrate the feasibility of this approach.","PeriodicalId":431921,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 10th ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on MULTIBODY DYNAMICS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134311749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For displacement-based beam elements, these resultants can be obtained 1) based on equilibrium, 2) consistent to the constitutive law or 3) based on load interpolation functions. Although the methods give similar results in case of small deformation, the discrepancies in case of large deformation are significant. This paper shows that the method based on equilibrium gives the most accurate results. Torsion of beam elements causes warping of the cross section. This warping is constrained at clamped ends of beam elements, causing extra stress. This paper shows a method to accurately obtain the corresponding internal stress resultants, i.e. the Saint-Venant torsion moment and bimoment.","PeriodicalId":431921,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 10th ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on MULTIBODY DYNAMICS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134325337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, the performance of the robot product architecture is presented and a mathematical kinematic model of the robot is derived according to it, i.e. its legs using the Denavit-Hartenberg method and homogeneous transformations. The purpose of this was to obtain the equations of inverse kinematics. A simplified robot product architecture based on rectangular robot design was used to perform the mathematical model. It is shown by a simplified kinematic scheme. In addition, a control algorithm was performed using a PID controller in each ankle. The controller’s parameters are adjusted on one leg of the robot, and after that, this is used to adjust the control on the other legs in this way. The simulation of the controlled motion of the robot was performed using the computer program MATLAB Simulink and the Simscape Multibody environment. In doing so, only the robot's movement on flat terrain was observed. The tripod gait was chosen for the motion model due to the simplicity of creating the model and performing the simulation, as well as the speed of movement.","PeriodicalId":431921,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 10th ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on MULTIBODY DYNAMICS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130032032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
