Finte Element Study of a Three Degree of Freedom Robot

Abstract

This project studies the previous work done by Jon Ander Sagarduy in the University of Basque Country. It studies the case of a three degree of freedom arm and its kinematical and structural analysis with the help of Finite Elements. To do so, there are three steps. - First of all, the creation of the model in CAD. This is done with Catia v5, instead of Solid Works as it was done in the previous work. - Second, is the mesh of the assembly with Hypermesh. - Finally, the study of the different stresses and materials with Abaqus, with different movement laws.
