Abstract
This paper presents a method for the dynamic stress analysis of planar parallel robots with flexible links and a rigid moving platform. The finite element-based dynamic model of flexible parallel robots is proposed. The relation between elastic deformations and elastic displacements of the flexible links is investigated, considering the coupling effects of elastic motion and rigid motion. The elastic deformations of links are calculated. Considering the effects of bending-shearing strain and tensile-compression strain, the dynamic stress of the links and its position are derived by using the Kineto-Elastodynamics theory and the Timoshenko beam theory. Due to the flexibility of the links, the dynamic stresses are well illustrated through numerical simulation. Compared with the results of the finite element software SAMCEF, the numerical simulation results show the good coherence and advantages of the analysis method. The dynamic stress analysis is demonstrated to have a significant impact on the analysis, design and control of flexible parallel robots.
