| description abstract | Tensegrity parallel mechanisms is a novel spatial structure composed of cable-based and rigid-based chains, which is characterized by lightweight, multi-stability, high precision, good stiffness, and high load-bearing capacity. This paper focuses on the six-degree-of-freedom tensegrity parallel mechanism, analyzing its static equilibrium and presenting the force equilibrium equations. A model for cable tension distribution optimization is established, utilizing different P-norm objective functions to optimize the distribution of tension in cables and rigid links, discussing the reasons for unreasonable tensions in the system. Under given constraints on the motion pairs of the mechanism, the workspace of the mechanism is plotted, and factors influencing the size of the workspace are analyzed. Finally, the singularity of the mechanism is addressed based on the Jacobian matrix, demonstrating the feasibility of reaching the space volume by the mechanism. It has certain reference significance for the configuration theory and analysis methods of tensegrity parallel mechanisms and rigid-flexible coupling mechanisms, and provides a reference for the further promotion and application of mechanisms. | |
