Abstract
The paper presents a methodology to enhance the stiffness analysis of parallel manipulators with parallelogram-based linkage. It directly takes into account the influence of the external loading and allows computing both the non-linear ``load-deflection" relation and relevant rank-deficient stiffness matrix. An equivalent bar-type pseudo-rigid model is also proposed to describe the parallelogram stiffness by means of five mutually coupled virtual springs. The contributions of this paper are highlighted with a parallelogram-type linkage used in a manipulator from the Orthoglide family.
