Abstract

Small elastic deformations, beam - shaped links and low motion speeds are often assumed when studying the vibration control problem of a flexible robot arm. These practices make equations of motion linear and simplify control design works. In this paper, the importance of these neglected dynamics on control system's performance is evaluated through computer simulations. It is found that nonlinear dynamics produce noticeable difference only when the arm's stiffness decreases or its operation speed increases beyond levels commonly adopted in industrial operations.
