Ideally, only shear is induced by the force.

If the force is not exactly aligned with the rotation point of the flexible joint:

<p>
|
|
Let’s estimate this effect.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The effect of the vertical position error \(\epsilon_z\) is the apparition of a “bending” torque:
|
|
</p>
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
M_b = \epsilon_z \cdot F
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This torque will induce a bending motion \(\theta_y\) of the flexible joint:
|
|
</p>
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
\theta_y = \frac{M_b}{k_b} = \frac{\epsilon_z \cdot F}{k_b}
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This rotation will induce an error \(\epsilon_{\theta_y}\) on the measured displacement:
|
|
</p>
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
\epsilon_{\theta_y} = \tan(\theta_y) \epsilon_z - L\left( 1 - \frac{1}{\cos(\theta_y)} \right)
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Supposing \(\theta_y\) small:
|
|
</p>
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
\epsilon_{\theta_y} \approx \frac{\epsilon_z^2 \cdot F}{k_b} \left( 1 + \frac{L}{2} \frac{F}{k_b} \right)
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
And this error to be very small compared to the measured motion due to shear:
|
|
</p>
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
\epsilon_{\theta_y} \ll X_s
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Which is equivalent to:
|
|
</p>
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
\epsilon_z \ll \sqrt{\frac{k_b}{k_s} \frac{1}{1 + \frac{L}{2} \frac{F}{k_b}}}
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
For realistic values, this is almost equivalent to:
|
|
</p>
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
\epsilon_z \ll \sqrt{\frac{k_b}{k_s}}

Let’s estimate this effect.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The effect of the horizontal position error \(\epsilon_y\) is the apparition of a “torsional” torque:
|
|
</p>
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
M_t = \epsilon_y \cdot F
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This torque will induce a torsional motion \(\theta_z\) of the flexible joint:
|
|
</p>
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
\theta_z = \frac{M_t}{k_t} = \frac{\epsilon_y \cdot F}{k_t}
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This rotation will induce an error \(\epsilon_{\theta_z}\) on the measured displacement:
|
|
</p>
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
\epsilon_{\theta_z} = \tan(\theta_z) \epsilon_y - L\left( 1 - \frac{1}{\cos(\theta_z)} \right)
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Supposing \(\theta_z\) small:
|
|
</p>
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
\epsilon_{\theta_z} \approx \frac{\epsilon_y^2 \cdot F}{k_t} \left( 1 + \frac{L}{2} \frac{F}{k_t} \right)
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
We want this error to be very small compared to the measured motion due to shear:
|
|
</p>
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
\epsilon_{\theta_z} \ll X_s
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Which is equivalent to:
|
|
</p>
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
\epsilon_y \ll \sqrt{\frac{k_t}{k_s} \frac{1}{1 + \frac{L}{2} \frac{F}{k_t}}}

<p>

If the force is not exactly aligned with the rotation point of the flexible joint, some parasitic <b>bending</b> motion will be induced (Figure <a href="#orgbbb7a5d">6</a>).

We wish here to estimate how close to the rotation point the force vector should be aligned for the motion measured to be mainly due to shear effects and not bending effects.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Suppose there is a distance \(\epsilon_z\) form the center of rotation, it will induce a torque equal to:
|
|
</p>
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
M_b = \epsilon_z \cdot F
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Therefore, the rotation of the top part will be:
|
|
</p>
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
X_b = \frac{M_b}{k_b} = \frac{\epsilon_z \cdot F}{k_b}
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
And the induced measured displacement is:
|
|
</p>
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
D_b = \tan(X_b) \epsilon_z - L\left( 1 - \frac{1}{\cos(X_b)} \right) \\
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Supposing \(X_b\) small:
|
|
</p>
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
D_b \approx \frac{\epsilon_z^2 \cdot F}{k_b} \left( 1 + \frac{L}{2} \frac{F}{k_b} \right)
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
We want the induced displacement due to the bending much smaller than the induced displacement due to the compression:
|
|
</p>
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
D_b \ll Xs
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Which is equivalent to (taking \(\tan x \approx x\)):
|
|
</p>
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
\epsilon_z \ll \sqrt{\frac{k_b}{k_a} \frac{1}{1 + \frac{L}{2} \frac{F}{k_b}}}
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
For realistic values, this is almost equivalent to:
|
|
</p>
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
|
\epsilon_z \ll \sqrt{\frac{k_b}{k_a}}
|
|
\end{equation}
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that an error in \(z\) is chosen here, but the same results are obtained for errors in the \(y\) direction.
|
|
What matters is the distance from the axis \(F\) to the flexible joint’s center.

Requirements:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul class="org-ul">
|
|
<li>Large enough measurement range</li>
|
|
<li>Small enough measurement noise and errors</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The largest applied force is foreseen to be around 500N.
|
|
The smallest (full range) force is foreseen to be around 2N.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If we want an accuracy of 1% (even for the small measurement range), the force sensor should be accurate down to ~0.02N and with a full range of 500N.
|
|
This corresponds to an accuracy of 0.004%.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If we limit ourselves to 100N of applied force, the required accuracy of 0.02N corresponds to 0.02% of accuracy which is more realistic.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Another solution would be to use 2 force sensors.
