Failure Analysis of Cable Based Parallel Manipulators

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, the effect of a cable failure on the performance of the manipulator is investigated. The post failure trajectory and cable tensions after failure are analysed and ship position optimization is conducted in order to minimize the cable tensions after failure. The optimization is demonstrated with six, eight and ten ships in a cable based parallel manipulator (CPM). The performance of the system after failure is improved with higher number of cables in a CPM.
