Parametric Study of Double Link Flexible Manipulator

Abstract

In this work, finite element method based on Lagrangian formulation is used for obtaining the equations of motion of the double link flexible revolute-jointed robotic manipulator. Both the links are considered as Euler-Bernoulli beams. A parametric study is carried out for the double link flexible robotic manipulator through linear modeling technique. A comparative study for dynamic response is carried out for the uniform beam manipulators under various types of excitations.
