Position Loop Equation (Kinematics)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The position loop equation for a solar panel deployment system attached to a satellite body involves defining the lengths of the components: AB (Yoke) as 'a' and BC, CD, DE (Solar Panels) as 'b'. The user has encountered difficulties in deriving the y loop equation in a rectangular coordinate system and is considering alternative approaches using local, global, or natural coordinate systems. Reference material for similar mechanisms can be found in the provided document link.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of kinematics and position loop equations
  • Familiarity with coordinate systems (rectangular, local, global, natural)
  • Basic knowledge of mechanical systems, specifically solar panel deployment mechanisms
  • Ability to interpret technical drawings and reference documents
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the derivation of position loop equations in local and global coordinate systems
  • Study the mechanics of solar panel deployment mechanisms
  • Examine the reference document for analysis techniques related to similar mechanisms
  • Explore software tools for simulating kinematic systems, such as MATLAB or Simulink
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, aerospace engineers, and students involved in kinematics and robotic systems, particularly those focused on solar panel deployment mechanisms.

What will be the position loop equation of the attached file. The system is of Solar Panel Deployment attached to Satellite Body .
The lengths are
AB = Yoke = a
BC=CD=DE = Solar Panles = b

I have been trying to fine position loop equations (i.e x & y ) in rectangular coordinate system but y loop equation is not achievable.
Should I try something in Loacal /Global/ Natural coordinate system.

Two files are attached ...one is of my system's drawing
Other one is a reference document of analysis of this kind of mechanism which is at
