摘要：

In this paper the role that shear deformation effect plays in flexible manipulator dynamics is investigated and reported. The shear deformation effect of manipulators with three typical cross-sectional geometries, namely, hollow round, hollow square, and hollow rectangle, is studied. In addition, one important issue for manipulator design considerations regarding the influence of the link dimension variations on flexible dynamics is also investigated. The dynamic simulation results show that the shear deformation effect is approximately inverse proportional to the thickness of manipulator link regardless of cross-sectional shapes, if the link length is fixed. It can also be observed that the longer the manipulator link the less shear effect will influence the manipulator deflection, although the frequency of deflection variances becomes less. Based on the simulation results, it is suggested that hollow circular cross-sectional link should be adopted to reduce shear effect for short and thin manipulator links as far as the flexible linkage manipulator design is concerned. For hollow square and hollow rectangular link cross-sections, the manipulator link must be long and thick to avoid significant influences of shear effects.
