Abstract: This paper explores several methods to eliminate residual vibration of a robot arm at the end of a move, using open-loop control. The robot structure is modeled as lumped masses and springs ...

Abstract: The loss of pin contact in bearings of four bar-linkages, and the avoidance of impact within a bearing through prevention of contact loss are both investigated in this study. Conditions ...

Abstract: A technique has been implemented for predicting the multiple input force time histories acting on a machinery component through the use of multiple vibration measurements and a stored matrix ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes a method for modeling the vibration response of mechanical systems whose configuration may vary during operation. A model of adjacent elements which experience relative ...

Abstract: This paper describes a method for limiting vibration in flexible systems by shaping the input to the system. Unlike most previous input shaping strategies, this method does not require a precise ...

Abstract: A nonlinear, lumped parameter pantograph model including geometric and coulomb friction nonlinearities and variable stiffness has been developed. The model performance has been compared with ...
