Abstract

A technique is presented to analyze the dynamics of flexible manipulators using bond graphs. The non-linear coupling of large rigid body motion and small elastic vibration of the flexible arms has been taken into consideration in the model. The concept of using distributed piezoelectric transducers for controlling elastic vibration of arms has been incorporatd in the analysis. This leads to an automated procedure for simulating the performance of manipulators. The procedure is illustrated by a planar manipulator with flexible arms.
