Design Method of the Flexible Smart Driving Mechanism

Abstract:

Flexible smart driving mechanism is a combination of a smart actuator and flexible elements. It is an important part of the smart structure, mainly used in precise positioning and vibration control. In such application the displacement (or thrust) output and the natural frequency of the mechanism are two important design parameters. In the paper it is presented at the first that the two technical parameters (the output and the frequency) couldn’t be designed independently. Then based on static and dynamic analysis the design method of a general flexible smart driving mechanism is given. As an application, the design of a fast steering mirror, driven by a flexible smart driving mechanism is given. To verify the result, an experimental study has been done. The consistency of theoretical and experimental result is obtained.
