Abstract

This paper investigates the use of the Rayleigh-Ritz method to model single degree-of-freedom flexible cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) using a set of time-dependent basis functions to discretize cables of varying length. An energy-based model simplification is proposed to further facilitate reduction in the computational load when performing numerical simulations involving the proposed model. Open-loop system responses are used to compare the effect of the energy-based model simplification. Frequency responses are used to compare the influence of the number of basis functions used and to provide a comparison to a lumped-mass model.
