Investigation of impact motions in elements of manipulators and robots

Impact interactions take place in the process of dynamic behavior in the elements of manipulators and robots. Their precise investigation is an important engineering problem. A model having one degree of freedom with forced excitation and impacts is investigated. A special procedure for more precise calculation of impacts is proposed. Numerical results for various parameters of the investigated system are presented. The advantage of the application of the proposed procedure for more precise calculations of dynamics of this system is indicated
