Dynamics of a 3-UPS-UPU-S Parallel Mechanism

In this paper, a parallel mechanism with two rotational degrees of freedom is proposed. It could rotate freely and continuously around the two coordinate axes at the fixed origin of the coordinate frame. The structure of the mechanism is a second-order over constraint parallel structure and the movi...

description In this paper, a parallel mechanism with two rotational degrees of freedom is proposed. It could rotate freely and continuously around the two coordinate axes at the fixed origin of the coordinate frame. The structure of the mechanism is a second-order over constraint parallel structure and the moving platform and base platform are connected by five kinematic chains. The motion characteristics of this structure are analyzed by reciprocal screw equation. Then, the kinematics and dynamics modelling are carried out systematically in a unified way. The kinematics of the mechanism is established by means of screws, the displacements and accelerations of each joint and any point on a link could be calculated by the kinematic screw equation directly. The analysis of acceleration and its mathematical expression in screw form are given, and the acceleration matrix could be applied into the dynamic analysis based on the Newton–Euler equation. All the constraint forces and torques could be obtained by a single set of Newton–Euler equations.
