ABSTRACT This paper presents a method for optimal design of compliant mechanism topologies. The method is based on continuum-type topology optimization techniques and finds the optimal compliant mechanism topology within a given design domain and a given position and direction of input and output forces. By constraining the allowed displacement at the input port, it…
ABSTRACT ABSTRACT A recursive formulation of the equations of motion of constrained mechanical systems with closed loops is derived, using tools of variational and vector calculus. Kinematic couplings between pairs of contiguous bodies presented in Part 1 of this paper are generalized. Lagrange multipliers are introduced to account for the effects of joints that are…
ABSTRACT A recursive formulation of the equations of motion of spatial constrained mechanical systems is derived, using tools of variational and vector calculus. Position, virtual displacement, velocity, and acceleration relations are developed, using relative coordinates between kinematically coupled bodies. Graph theoretic definition of connectivity of systems with tree structure is used to define computational sequences…
Abstract This paper is devoted to the analysis of the two- or three-dimensional elastic contact problem with Coulomb friction, quasi-static equilibrium, and small displacements. The classical approach is based on two minimum principles, or variational inequalities: the first for unilateral contact and the second for friction. In practical applications, this leads to an algorithm of…
ABSTRACT Many methods have been proposed for the simulation of constrained mechanical systems. The most obvious of these have mild instabilities and drift problems. Consequently, stabilization techniques have been proposed A popular stabilization method is Baumgarte's technique, but the choice of parameters to make it robust has been unclear in practice. Some of the simulation…
