Abstract

This work presents a systematic method for the dynamic modeling of multi-rigid links confined within a closed environment. The behavior of the system can be completely characterized by two different mathematical models: a set of highly coupled differential equations for modeling the confined multi-link system when it has no impact with surrounding walls; and a set of algebraic equations for expressing the collision of this open kinematic chain system with the confining surfaces. In order to avoid the Lagrangian formulation (which uses an excessive number of total and partial derivatives in deriving the governing equations of multi-rigid links), the motion equations of such a complex system are obtained according to the recursive Gibbs–Appell formulation. The main feature of this paper is the recursive approach, which is used to automatically derive the governing equations of motion. Moreover, in deriving the motion equations, the manipulators are not limited to planar motions only. In fact, for systematic modeling of the motion of a multi-rigid-link system in 3D space, two imaginary links are added to the \(n\)-real links of a manipulator in order to model the spatial rotations of the system. Finally, a 2D and a 3D case studies are simulated to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
