Composite link structures for increased stiffness and decreased weight
- Detailed Technology Description
- A novel design which utilizes internal support structures made out of composite materials to increase the stiffness of the structure while minimizing the weight.
- *Abstract
-
The research led by Drs. Scott Nockleby and Remon Pop-Iliev has developed a novel design solution that overcomes the heavy weight of robotic structures that are expected to handle heavy payloads with high speeds through complex spatial trajectories at a long reach while preserving high positional accuracy and dynamic performance. This is done through applying composite materials to the structures. This technology also has applications with in the design of lightweight structural beams for a wide variety of industrial and civil applications that require a high stiffness/strength to weight ratios.
