Results Parametric Study Overview: Number of input variables: 3 Number of output variables: 9 (1-Girder) or 18 (2-Girder) The range for input variables are ±0.3 mm. The 3 input variables are the two vertical and one horizontal actuator movements of one cradle. Output variables give the changes in x, y and z coordinates of the beam axis ends for each girder. Results (outputs) are shown as variation diagrams of two input variables while the third input variable remains constant.
Results Parametric Study Two vertical actuators of the first cradle are moving while the horizontal actuator is set to be fixed at zero. By having the same amount of actuation for the vertical actuators, front point of the beam axis will not have any displacement component in x-direction. Figure 9 – Parametric study of One-Girder system. F1x is a function of three variables a1,b1 and c1. Here c1=0
Results Parametric Study The second vertical (b1) and the horizontal actuator (c1) from the first cradle are moving while the first vertical actuator (a1) is set to be fixed at 0.156 mm displacement. By having the b1 constant, rear point of the beam axis will not have any displacement component in y-direction. Figure 10 – Parametric study of One-Girder system. Ry1 is a function of three variables a1, b1 and c1. Here a1=0.156
Conclusions Static deformation values are relative values as the pre-stress option was not possible with ANSYS. If pre-stress is considered, then only static deflection values are to be changed. Worst case deflection is not passing the ±3 mm limits. Lowest resonance frequency is 45.5 Hz. Parametric study is a suitable tool to locate the beam axis
Further Work The mechanism of master-slave movement needs to be studied more thoroughly. The snake system kinematics is governing. Modal analysis can be done again with accelerating structure for comparison purpose. The more the number of girders, the more precise results but heavier model at the same time! Number of input variables of the parametric study can be increased to consider 6 actuator movements for alignment study. A thorough report of this work will be written for through description of the results.
