Abstract
This paper presents an innovative method for minimizing the vibration of structures with time-variant boundary conditions (supports). The elastic body is modeled in two ways: (1) the first model is a letter seven type beam with a movable mass not to exceed the lower tip; (2) the second model has an arm that is a hollow beam with an inside mass with adjustable position. The complete solutions to both problems are carried out where the body is undergoing large rotation. The quasi-static procedure is used for the time-variant boundary conditions. The method developed employs partial differential equations governing the motion of the beam, including the effects of rigid-body motion, time-variant boundary conditions, and calculus of variations. The analytical solution is developed using Laplace and Fourier transforms. Examples of elastic robotic arms are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the methods developed.
