Permanent link to this version:Abstract Having potentially high stiffness and good dynamic response, a parallel pose adjusting mechanism was proposed for being an attachment to a big serial robot of a macro-micro robotic system. This paper addresses its design optimization problem mainly concerning arrangements of design variables and objectives. Parameter changes during construction are added to the design variables in order to prevent the negative effects to the physical prototype. These parameter changes are interpreted as parameter uncertainty and modeled by probabilistic theory.For the objectives, both static and dynamic performances are simultaneously optimized by Pareto-based method.The involved performance indices are instantaneous energy based stiffness index, first natural frequency and execution mass. The optimization procedure is implemented as: (1) carrying out performance modeling and defining performance indices, (2) reformulating statistical objectives and probabilistic constraints considering parameter uncertainty, (3) conducting Pareto-based optimization with the aid of response surface method (RSM) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), (4) selecting optimal solution by searching for cooperative equilibrium point (CEP). By addressing parameter uncertainty and the best compromise among multiple objectives, the presented optimization procedure provides more reliable optimal parameters that would not be affected by minor parameter changes during construction, and less biased optimum between static and dynamic performances comparing with the conventional optimization methods. The proposed optimization method can also be applied to the other similar mechanisms.

Study on Inverse Analysis Technique Considering Influence of Construction Procedure on Performance of Large-Span Steel Latticed Arch

“…Because of its light weight and high strength, long-span space steel structure has been widely used in airports, stadiums, bridges and other large public buildings [1][2][3][4][5]. Similar to the bridge structure, the long-span steel structure will bear various loads during the long construction process and undergo significant structural system transformation, showing dynamic changes in complex stress conditions [6,7].…”

Multi-objective optimization design of parallel manipulators using a neural network and principal component analysis

“…High computational costs greatly reduce the optimized design's computational efficiency. The response surface model (RSM), including a back-propagation (BP) neural network (Zhang and Gao, 2008;Gao et al, 2010), multivariate regression (Yang et al, 2022;Lian et al, 2019), and Gaussian regression (Vinh et al, 2019), is often used to fix this problem, wherein the BP neural network has attracted extensive attention due to its strong learning and nonlinear fitting capabilities. Therefore, the BP neural network model is adopted to establish the RSM of the GPIs and the design parameters in this work.…”
