Abstract

The double-tripod multi-loop mechanism (DTMLM) is expected to construct modular system for space applications, such as space capturing, thus requiring good performance, including good dynamics characteristics, kinematics features, and high actuation-transmission efficiency. This paper proposes local and global performance indicators in terms of kinematics and dynamics, by means of concept of the output-array ellipsoid. Then, the kinematics-and dynamics- performance drawings are plotted and then employed to indicate the relationship between the indicators and rod parameters. A multi-objective-optimization procedure is represented to calculate the weight coefficient of the indicators. The diagram of comprehensive evaluation indicators is henceforth plotted. Due to the optimization, \(r=3d_0\) is better for the DTMLM structures in space applications, which provides strong support in further structure-design process.
