Abstract
AbstractAn experimental investigation on the control performances of a single‐link flexible manipulator fabricated from composite laminates is presented. The dynamic modeling of the flexible manipulator is accomplished by employing Hamilton's principle, prior to developing a finite element formulation. An output feedback controller associated with two collocated angular position and velocity sensors is designed and experimentally implemented. Comparative works are undertaken to demonstrate some of the advantages to be accrued from this proposed methodology. It is shown that the manipulator fabricated from composite laminates has superior performance characteristics, such as smaller tip deflections and a smaller input torque relative to the manipulator fabricated from aluminum. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
