Comparison between the One Piezoelectric Actuator and the Two Ones on Vibration Control of a Flexible Two-Link Manipulator Using Finite Element Method

The purposes of this research are to derive the equations of motion of a flexible two-link system by a finite element method, to develop computational codes in order to perform dynamics simulations with vibration control and to propose an effective control scheme of a flexible two-link manipulator. The flexible two-link manipulator used in this paper consists of two aluminum beams as flexible links, two clamp-parts, two servo motors to rotate...
