Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a torque equation related to a two-link manipulator in robotics. Participants seek clarification on the meaning of certain variables and terms within the equation, particularly focusing on the parameters C and D, as well as the overall context of the formula.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant presents the torque equation and expresses confusion about the meaning of C and D.
  • Another participant suggests that C and D might represent length dimensions, but this is speculative.
  • A later reply clarifies the context of the formula, stating it pertains to a two-link planar manipulator driven by a DC servomotor, and provides definitions for J, J˚, and Tg.
  • Participants discuss the need for clarity on the notation used in the equation, particularly regarding subscripts and superscripts.
  • One participant mentions the Coriolis and centrifugal forces in relation to the terms in the equation but does not clarify the meanings of C and D.
  • Another participant expresses a need to see the equation in the reference material to provide more accurate insights.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on the meanings of C and D, and multiple competing views remain regarding their definitions. The discussion is unresolved as participants continue to seek clarification.

Contextual Notes

Participants express uncertainty regarding the notation and the specific definitions of terms in the torque equation. There are limitations in understanding due to the lack of context provided by the original source material.

The torque equation of joint in 2 link manipulator is given by:
T= J (dω /dt)+J˚ (dω2/dt)+Cω2 ω +Dω22 +T
i couldn't find how to write 2 as super script an subscript online any way what i don't know is what C&D stand for in here .can u pls help me?

Hi mitra1343! Welcome to PF! :smile:
To write 2, either:

i] hit the X2 tag above the reply box, or

ii] type [noparse]2[/noparse] :smile:

Sorry … what's ω2 ω? and ω22? and why is T on both sides?

Can you type it out again, and tell us the context also? :smile:
 
If you can point us to where the equation comes from that would be a big help. My guess off the top of my head is that C and D are length dimensions.
 
hi how are u and thanks so much for ur reply
the formula is about a 2 link planar manipulator .assume that joint l is directly driven by a dc servomotor.(because i don't know how to write power and subscript in messages the formula looks strange that is those numbers in there )any way the formula is T= J (dω /dt)+J˚ (dω2/dt)+Cω2 ω +Dω22 +Tg
Where J is the combined moment of inertia of motor and manipulator
J˚ Is the coupling inertia between the 2 joints Cω2 ω is caused by coriolis force; Dω 2 2 is contributed by the centripetal force due to the velocity in the other joint; and Tg is the toeque due to gravity.
but i can't underestand what C and D stand for will u pls help me ?the formula is from the book robotics for engineers by yoram koren thanks so much again

Hi mitra1343! :smile:
(you need to "close" every sub or sup with a [/sub] or [/sup] :wink:)

(or just use the X2 or X2 tags just above the Reply box)

I'm still not entirely getting this formula …

do you mean T= J(dω/dt) + J˚(dω2/dt) + Cω2ω + Dω22 +Tg ?

From the PF https://www.physicsforums.com/library.php?do=view_item&itemid=86":

Coriolis force is minus mass times twice the cross-product of angular momentum, and the velocity of the object:

[tex]-2m\,\mathbf{\omega} \times \mathbf{v}[/tex]

Centrifugal force depends on position rather than velocity:
[tex]m\,\mathbf{\omega} \times (\mathbf{\omega} \times \mathbf{r})\,=\,m\,\mathbf{\omega} \times \mathbf{v}[/tex].

thank u very much ,yes i meant the same formula u have written ,what exactly D stands for , I'm just an interested beginner with little background of physics thanks again for ur kind reply

I would have to see the equiation in the reference. I am only taking guesses.
