Reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) in practical applications is hindered by its huge computational cost during structure reliability evaluating process. Kriging-model-based RBDO is an effective method to overcome this difficulty. However, the accuracy of Kriging model depends directly on how to select the sample points. In this paper, the local adaptive sampling (LAS) is proposed to enhance the efficiency of constructing Kriging models for RBDO problems. In LAS, after initialization, new samples for probabilistic constraints are mainly selected within the local region around the current design point from each optimization iteration, and in the local sampling region, sample points are first considered to be located on the limit state constraint boundaries. The size of the LAS region is adaptively defined according to the nonlinearity of the performance functions. The computation capability of the proposed method is demonstrated using three mathematical RBDO problems and a honeycomb crash-worthiness design application. The comparison results show that the proposed method is very efficient.

High precision and efficiency robotic milling of complex parts: Challenges, approaches and trends

Parallel kinematic mechanisms (PKM) have received particular attention due to their higher stiffness, increased payload capacity, and agility, when compared to their serial counterparts. Despite these significant advantages, however, most PKM designs, typically, yield limited workspace, problematic singularities, and configuration-dependent stiffness. In response, mechanism redundancy has emerged as an effective tool to address these and other problems. In this paper, we present an in-depth discussion of past research on PKM redundancy. The methodical review of the pertinent literature, first, introduces the concept of redundancy based on the number of actuators and the number of degrees of freedom required to perform a task and, then, discusses the two main types of redundancy according to the mobility of the mechanism, i.e., kinematic and actuation redundancy. Subsequently, research on the design aspects of redundant PKMs, including the various criteria used for design optimization is detailed. Primary advantages of PKM redundancy include workspace enlargement, singularity elimination/ avoidance, and improved joint-torque distribution. In this paper, these advantages are discussed in contrast to the main challenges redundant mechanisms present, such as in motion planning and control, and calibration. Other issues of PKM redundancy, briefly, presented herein for completeness are fault-tolerance, reconfigurability, cable-driven and hyper-redundant PKMs.

A Review of Redundant Parallel Kinematic Mechanisms

With the introduction of generalized function sets (GF set) to represent the characteristics of the end-effectors of parallel mechanisms, two classes of GF sets are proposed. The type synthesis of parallel mechanisms having the second class GF sets and two dimensional rotations, including 2-, 3-, and 4DOF parallel mechanisms, is investigated. First, the intersection algorithms for the GF sets are established via the axiom of two dimensional rotations. Second, the kinematic limbs with specific characteristics are designed according to the axis movement theorem. Finally, several parallel mechanisms having the second class GF sets and two dimensional rotations have been illustrated to show the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

Analyzing kinematics and solving active/constrained forces of a 3SPU + UPR parallel manipulator

The statics and stiffness model of serial-parallel manipulators (S-PMs) formed by k parallel manipulators (PMs) connected in series is established in this paper. The S-PMs can provide features of both serial manipulators (SMs) and PMs. First, the unified formulae for solving the statics and stiffness of S-PMs are derived. Second, a k(PS + RPS + SPS) S-PM is analyzed to illustrate this model. Finally, an analytic solved example for 5(PS + RPS + SPS) S-PM is given. The established model can offer an essential theoretical basis for S-PMs. c 2012 American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
