In this paper, the constrained motion control of a normally unconstrained mechanical system is investigated. As far as its motion control is concerned, such a system will have a redundancy in its actuators due to the reduction caused in its number of degrees of freedom by the presence of the constraints. Four methods are described in order to determine the actuator and constraint forces. The first three of these methods necessitate using all the actuators and the fourth method is applicable in a case where non-redundant (i.e. minimum) number of actuators is used. In such a case, it is shown that there exist actuation-related singular configurations (ASCs), at which the actuator and constraint forces become unboundedly large, unless some special precaution is taken. The fourth method includes an efficient precaution as well. As a case study, computer simulations are made considering a typical constrained system that consists of two cooperating manipulators. Only the fourth method is applied because it is preferable with its minimal operational complexity and also because its application needs extra care due to the troublesome but interesting phenomenon of ASCs.

Control of constrained spatial three-link flexible manipulators KILIÇASLAN, SİNAN; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal; Ider, S. Kemal (2007-06-29) This study deals with the force and motion control of a spatial three-link articulated manipulator with flexible second and third links. In order to reduce the complexity of the dynamic equations each link is modelled as if unconnected and the joint connections are expressed as constraint equations. Then the joint forces are eliminated and the number of equations is reduced by substituting the acceleration level constraint equations into the dynamic equations. The dynamic equations are partitioned as pseudo...
Experimental evaluation of cable drum systems as linear motion sensors KILIÇ, ERGİN; Dölen, Melik; Koku, Ahmet Buğra (2011-04-15) This study evaluates cable-drum mechanisms as linear motion sensors for certain CNC applications. In this work, the dynamical attributes of a generic device are studied experimentally. The conducted research indicates that despite the significant traction force induced between the cable and its drum, small fluctuations in mechanism's speed yields a considerable (micro) slip at the interface.
Invalid joint arrangements and actuator related singular configurations of a system of two cooperating SCARA manipulators Ozkan, B; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal (2001-06-01) In this study, the actuator related singular configurations (ASCs) of a system of two cooperating SCARA manipulators, are investigated. The ASC concept was First developed for planar pairs of cooperating manipulators, and it was shown that these ill-conditions could be different from the kinematic: singularities.

Performance evaluation of piezoelectric sensor/actuator on active vibration control of a smart beam Şahin, Melin (SAGE Publications, 2011-01-01) In this paper the performance of a piezoelectric sensor/actuator pair and self-sensing piezoelectric actuator on the investigation of vibration characteristics and active vibration control of a smart beam are presented. The performance of piezoelectric patches on actuation and sensing is evaluated by investigating the vibration characteristics of the smart beam via various excitation mechanisms and transduction systems. For active vibration suppression of the smart beam, robust controllers are designed and ...
Active vibration suppression of a flexible beam via sliding mode and H ∞ control Itik, Mehmet; Salamci, Metin U.; Demet Ulker, F.; Yaman, Yavuz (2005-12-01) n this study, sliding mode and H. control techniques are applied to a flexible beam in order to suppress some of the vibration modes. The beam is a clamped-free flexible structure having piezoelectric (PZT) patches as actuators and a laser displacement sensor for measuring the tip point deflection. The beam is modeled in two different ways for each control algorithm. To implement sliding mode control (SMC), Euler-Bernoulli beam model is used and a finite dimensional LTI model is formed by using assumed mode...
