Description

In 5 days of training the following topics are treated The role of stiffness and compliance in mechanisms and how to evaluate these mechanisms Controlling `Degrees Of Freedom’ Optimal use of elastic elements Friction, hysteresis and micro slip Real and virtual play How to realize damping Balancing of manipulators The training material originally has been developed by Prof. Ir. W. van der Hoek (Philips and TU Eindhoven from 1962 till 1984) and Prof. Dr. Ir. M.R. Koster (Philips, TU Eindhoven and TU Twente from 1984 till 2008).
