This study investigates the effect of two different motion profiles on the vibration of a flexible composite manipulator. The dynamic performance is explored using theoretical and experimental approaches. The study presents a SimMechanics-based flexible dynamic model and a finite element model, and evaluates the effectiveness of the motion profiles in reducing vibration amplitudes. The results are verified through simulations and experiments, increasing the reliability of the proposed method.
The motion profiles defined to move the robot manipulators directly affect the endpoint position accuracy, position repeatability, and vibration control of the manipulators in engineering applications, especially in flexible manipulators. This study deals theoretically and experimentally with the dynamic performance of two different motion profiles in reducing the vibration amplitudes of a single-link flexible composite manipulator. Manipulator is produced from epoxy-glass composite material with a layer orientation of [0/90/0/0/90/0] lay-up. For theoretical studies, the SimMechanics-based flexible dynamic model is created using flexible beam block in MATLAB/Simulink, and the finite element model is established with a layered structural solid element in ANSYS. Two different motion profiles are defined to drive the manipulator for different stopping positions and motion times. Simulations are achieved by using motion profiles. The performance of the motion profiles is evaluated by considering the reduction ratio of residual displacement and acceleration vibrations generated at the endpoint of the manipulator. RMS values of residual vibrations are calculated to determine the rate of residual vibration suppression. Reduction ratios are determined by considering the maximum vibration amplitudes as the reference RMS value. The effectiveness of the motion profiles is presented in comparison with the reduction rates. Simulation results obtained using both displacement and acceleration vibration responses are verified with experiments for all motion cases. Also, the modeling and analysis of the composite manipulator are verified by simulations and experiments with the SimMechanics-based modeling method, and the reliability of the proposed method is increased.

Investigation of Vibration Control Performance with Modified Motion Planning Based on Basic Functions for Composite Robot Manipulators

M. Uyar

Summary: In this study, a motion-based control (MBC) method with designed motion profiles is introduced to reduce the endpoint vibrations of epoxy-glass-reinforced composite manipulators. The effectiveness of MBC is evaluated by comparing the change in RMS values of endpoint vibration responses and the reduction rates for all motion profiles. The results show significant advantages for the MBC method, reducing vibrations by approximately 99% and eliminating positioning errors caused by vibrations.

Investigation of vibration performance of pure active single and multi-feedback controls for a tall RC building

Mehmet Uyar, Mustafa Ergun

Summary: This paper presents the pure active control performance of a tall building under the influence of earthquake records. The effects of single and multi-feedback controllers on vibration elimination at the top and all floors are studied. The results show that multi-feedback control is more effective than single-feedback control in reducing vibration amplitudes at all floors in the pure active control system.

Analysis of an actively controlled composite box manipulator without external actuator

Sefika Lok, Levent Malgaca, Mehmet Uyar

Summary: This study focuses on active vibration control for a single-link composite box manipulator using a single actuator. Model extraction and system identification techniques are used to obtain mathematical models. Proportional derivative and positive position feedback controllers are implemented to reduce residual vibrations. The simulation results are verified by experiments and evaluated with reduction rates.

Dynamic Angular Velocity Load-Based Energy Harvesting Analysis for Different Blade Angles and Polarization Directions of Smart Blades

M. Uyar

Summary: The piezoelectric energy harvesting performances of smart wind blades and smart drone propellers using lead zirconate titanate (PZT) material were evaluated. The energy harvesting performance of the smart wind blades was influenced by the blade angles, while the performance of the smart drone propellers depended on the sensor responses and polarization directions. The maximum and minimum power outputs obtained were approximately 0.086 W and 0.008 W, respectively. The results indicated that the z-polarized smart propeller had better energy harvesting performance than the y polarization, and the amount of energy obtained increased with the rotation speed and endpoint vibration amplitudes.
