Abstract
The space manipulator can assist astronauts to accomplish space activities, including docking, fixing, and grasping. It is subjected to thermal radiation and produces thermal deformation during orbit operation, which makes the operation of the space manipulator deviate from the predetermined trajectory and further affects its positioning accuracy. Therefore, to solve the problem of bidirectional coupling thermal-structure deformation analysis and positioning accuracy for space manipulator, based on the thermal-structural bidirectional coupling deformation analysis, a method of its thermal deformation on the output positioning accuracy of space flexible manipulator is proposed. It analyzes the bidirectional coupling relationship between the temperature and its thermal deformation for the manipulators. Then, the influence of thermal deformation on the output joint error and end positioning accuracy of the space manipulator are analyzed. Finally, the validity of this method is verified by numerical analysis. Compared with the unidirectional coupling model, the bidirectional coupling model comprehensively considers the structure, deformation and temperature of manipulators. It is closer to the real system. Thermal deformation will reduce the reliable runtime of the space manipulator in orbit. The study provides a theoretical basis for its thermal design and control.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
