A fuzzy control strategy is described which is utilized to control the joint angle and tip deflection in single flexible manipulator. In this paper, an existing model for a single flexible manipulator is used for the initial development of an FLC. One FLC is designed to govern the joint angle of the manipulator as it is rotated from one position to another, and the second FLC is designed to attenuate the tip deflection which result from joint angle body motion. Reference Trajectory Command is an important method to reduce vibration in flexible beam. This paper presents a very simple command control shaping which eliminates multiple mode residual vibration in a flexible beam combined parallel fuzzy controller. The effectiveness of proposed scheme is demonstrated through computer simulation.

This paper presents a new stable composite control law for the flexible joint robot manipulators, which incorporate the additional stabilizing control law with sliding property. The singularly perturbated models include inertia moments functions of the deformations of actuator. The newly defined fast controller variable is computed from the corrected reduced-order model without additional computational loads. The simulations for 2 DOF flexible joint manipulator show that the proposed schemes are more stable than conventional one, and especially effective for the manipulator with high joint-flexibilities.

In this paper, a formulation for a spatial sliding joint, which a general multibody can move along a very flexible cable, is derived using absolute nodal coordinates and non-generalized coordinate. The large deformable motion of a spatial cable is presented using absolute nodal coordinate formulation, which is based on the finite element procedures and the general continuum mechanics theory to represent the elastic forces. And the non-generalized coordinate, which is neither related to the inertia forces nor external forces, is used to describe an arbitrary position along the centerline of a very flexible cable. In the constraint equation for the sliding joint, since three constraint equations are imposed and one non-generalized coordinate is introduced, one constraint equation is systematically eliminated. Therefore, there are two independent Lagrange multipliers in the final system equations of motion associated with the sliding joint. The development of this sliding joint is important to analyze many mechanical systems such as pulley systems and pantograph/catenary systems for high speed-trains.

This paper presents a systematic method for the dynamic analysis of flexible mechanical systems containing closed kinematic loops. Kinematics between pairs of contiguous flexible bodies is described with the joint coordinates and the deformation modal coordinates. The cut-joint constraint equations associated with the closed kinematic loops are derived, simply using the geometric conditions. The equations of motions are initially written in terms of the joint and modal coordinates using the velocity transformation technique. Lagrange multipliers associated with the cut-joint constraints for closed-loop systems are then eliminated systematically using the generalized coordinate partitioning method, resulting to a minimal set of equations of motion.

This paper presents a new stable composite control law for the flexible joint robot manipulators, which incorporate an additional stabilizing control law with the sliding property. The singularly perturbated models in this paper include inertia moments which are functions or the deformations of actuators as well as link positions. The values of renewedly defined fast controller variables are computer from the corrected reduced-order model without additional computational loads. Proposed schemes are compared with the conventional one. The simulations for 2 DOF flexible joint manipulator show that the proposed schemes are more stable than the conventional scheme, and especially effective for the manipulator with high joint-flexibilities.

The analysis of actuating forces (or torques) and joint reaction forces (or moments) are essential to determine the capacity of actuators, to control the system and to design the components. This paper presents an inverse dynamic analysis algorithm for flexible multibody systems with closed-loops in the relative joint coordinate space. The joint reaction forces are analyzed in Cartesian coordinate space using the inverse velocity transformation technique. The joint coordinates and the deformation modal coordinates are used as the generalized coordinates of a flexible multibody system. The algorithm is verified through the analysis of a slider-crank mechanism.

This paper proposes a V-shaped Lyapunov function approach for the model-based control of flexible-joint robots, in which a new model-based nonlinear control scheme is designed based on a V-shaped Lyapunov function. The proposed control guarantees global asymptotic stability for link trajectory control while keeping all internal signals bounded. Since joint flexibility is used as a control parameter, the proposed control is not restricted by the degree of joint flexibility and be applied to flexibility-joint, partly-flexibility, or rigid-joint robots without modification. the effectiveness of the proposed control has been by computer simulation.

In this paper, the dynamic behavior of a very flexible cable due to moving multibody system along its length is presented. The very deformable motion of a cable is presented using absolute nodal coordinate formulation, which is based on the finite element procedures and the general continuum mechanics theory to represent the elastic forces. Formulation for the sliding joint between a very flexible beam and a rigid body is derived. In order to formulate the constraint equations of this joint, a non-generalized coordinate, which has no inertia or forces associated with this coordinate, is used. The modeling of this sliding joint is very important to many mechanical applications such as the ski lifts. cable cars, and pulley systems. A multibody system moves along an elastic cable using this sliding joint. A numerical example is shownusing the developed analysis program for flexible multibody systems that include a large deformable cable.

In electronic industry, the trend of future electronics will be flexible, bendable, wearable electronics. Until now, there is few study on bonding technology and reliability of bonding joint between chip with micro solder bump and flexible substrate. In this study, we investigated joint properties of Si chip with eutectic Sn-58Bi solder bump on Cu pillar bump bonded on flexible substrate finished with ENIG by flip chip process. After flip chip bonding, we observed microstructure of bump joint by SEM and then evaluated properties of bump joint by die shear test, thermal shock test, and bending test. After thermal shock test, we observed that crack initiated between $Cu_6Sn_5IMC$ and Sn-Bi solder and then propagated within Sn-Bi solder and/or interface between IMC and solder. On the other hands, We observed that fracture propated at interface between Ni3Sn4 IMC and solder and/or in solder matrix after bending test.

This paper presents an nonlinear observer scheme for flexible joint robot manipulators. This nonlinear observer scheme is based on the sliding mode method. Sliding controllers have recently been shown to feature excellent robustness and performance properties for specific classes of nonlinear tracking problems. Dynamic equations of flexible joint robot manipulators are derived from the Euler-Lagrange equations by forming the corresponding Lagrangian. Simulation results are presented to show the validness of the proposed nonlinear observer scheme.
