โฆ Synopsis
In this paper the problem of modeling two-joint planar robots with a flexible forearm is considered.
A simplified finite element approach is proposed in order to obtain simple and structured models which can easily take into account transient phenomena and external variable forces; gravity is also kept into account. The model can be easily generalised to robots with multiple elastic links. A comparison is made with the eigenfunction expansion model in stationary conditions by evaluating the eigenvalues of the elastic link. The remarkable structure of the model can be useful in control designing, owing to the fact that the usual properties of mechanical systems are still valid.

Designers often want to analyze more and more sophisticated structures, thus leading to very large "nite element models (typically 10 00 000 degrees of freedom for a body car, for example). These models being too costly for the early stages of design and optimization can be reduced by a substructure

This paper presents a class of non-model-based position controllers for a planar multi-link flexible robot. One can achieve not only the closed-loop stability of the original distributed parameter system, but also the asymptotic stability of the truncated system, which is obtained through representi
As computer power is increased, refined finite element models are employed for structural analysis and design. However, it is still difficult and expensive to make and use refined finite element models in the design stage. The refined models usually cause problems in the preliminary design where the
