Abstract

In the mechanisms and machines operating at high speeds, the elastic vibration of links is inevitable. The present paper deals with the problem of modelling and model-based controller design for a flexible four-bar mechanism. The fully coupled non-linear equations of motion are derived using the Lagrange’s equations with multipliers for constrained multibody systems. The resulting differential-algebraic equations are solved using numerical methods. Based on the obtained modelling results, a simple PD controller is designed to minimize the influence of elastic link on the desired motion.
