Calculation of elastic error of planar mechanism-an equivalent method

Abstract

In rigid mechanism dynamic analysis, the equivalence theorem is often used due to its simplicity and perceivability. Based on conjugation and duality between inertia energy-storing element and elastic energy-storing element, the equivalence theorem is used in elastic error analysis of planar mechanism. A set of calculation formula of elastic error is introduced, and these equations are similar in expression form to the rigid dynamic equation. To demonstrate the method developed, a computation example is given.
