In this paper, a cylinder contact model with different axis crossing angles is proposed, and the axis crossing angle is introduced into the normal and tangential constitutive equations. This paper uses the method of formula derivation to establish the analytical solution of the tangential elastic contact of the cylinder with different axis cross angles, and gives the relational expression of the tangential load and the tangential displacement. The finite element method (FEM) is used to verify the tangential displacement load curve and the tangential stiffness curve of the two cylinders.

In this paper, the Flexibility Matrix Diagonal element method, based on hammer testing, is proposed as an effective approach to identifying the stiffness weakness of cantilever structures. To verify the proposed method, the element stiffness weakening is used to simulate the weak parts regarding stiffness.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFAn active tendon, consisting of a displacement actuator and a co-located force sensor, has been adopted by many studies to suppress the vibration of large space flexible structures. The damping, provided by the force feedback control algorithm in these studies, is small and can increase, especially for tendons with low axial stiffness. This study introduces an improved force feedback algorithm, which is based on the idea of velocity feedback.
