Rigid-flexible coupled dynamics analysis of 3-revolute-prismatic-spherical parallel robot based on multi-software platform

Abstract

Kinematics and dynamics are the most important and basic tool for robot research. With the help of computer technology and the respective advantages of three kinds of software, a new method of co-simulation of parallel robot based on multi-platform is proposed, and the mechanical model of multi-body system of 3-revolute-prismatic-spherical parallel robot is established. According to the mechanical analysis of the parallel robot, the rigid-flexible coupling analysis method is adopted. The displacement error shows a periodic change with a period of 4.2 s and the maximum error is [Formula: see text]. The dangerous part of the structure is the root of the lower link, and its maximum stress is 202.64 MPa less than the yield strength of the material. The multi-software platform co-simulation improves the accuracy of the dynamic response analysis of the part under dynamic load, and provides an important theoretical basis for the design and optimization of the parallel robot.
