Study on Frequency Tuning of Parallel Mechanism for Reducing Vibration

Abstract:

To reduce the multi-dimensional vibration which exist in some vibrating machines or equipments such as running ambulances, a parallel mechanism with 3-translation DOFs was presented and introduced into the ambulance stretcher, then a three-translation vibration reduction platform was developed. The kinematics and dynamics equations of the presented vibration reduction platform were deduced. And then the workspace, tuning principles and dynamics characteristics were studied. The simulations show that the presented parallel mechanism or vibration reduction platform is valid for reducing vibration and the system has different natural frequencies in case that the upper platform of the mechanism works on some specific positions, so it can be used to achieve tunable vibration control.
