The system considered here is an N-flexible-link manipulator driven by N DC-motors through N revolute flexiblejoints. The flexibility of each flexible joint is modeled as a linearly elastic torsional spring, and the mass of the joint is also considered. For the flexibility of the link, all of the stretching deformation, bending deformation and the torsional deformation are included. The complete governing equations of motion of the system are derived via the Lagrange equations. The nonlinear description of the deformation field of the flexible link is adopted in the dynamic modeling, and thus the dynamic stiffening effects are captured. Based on this model, a general-purpose software package for dynamic simulation of multi-link spatial flexible manipulator arms is developed. Several illustrative examples are given to validate the algorithm presented in this paper and to indicate that not only dynamic stiffening effects but also the flexibility of the structure has significant influence on the dynamic performance of the manipulator.展开更多

A multi-ob- jectives mathematical model is formulated for determining the OD capacity over the MMFTN accord- ing to a transporting capacity matrix that increased from the reference matrixes. The corresponding incremental factor for estimating the capacity matrix is obtained via the maximal likelihood estima- tion method that samples data of differences between the estimated commodity volumes and carrying capacities of the critical links. The proposed formulations are tested by an experimental highway and railroad freight transportation network in an existing literature. The relevant results of OD capacities are displayed and applicability of the algorithm is certified.展开更多
