Stiffness Modelling of Typical Manipulator Linkages and Their Assemblies
摘要
This Chapter describes the particularities of stiffness modelling of typical linkages used in serial and parallel manipulators. It covers the following mechanical structures: trivial fully-actuated serial chains, under-constrained serial chains with passive joints, conventional serial chains and quasi-serial chains with internal closed-loops. Special attention is paid to the stiffness modelling of these linkages under the influence of internal and external loadings.
