This characteristic affects the machine stability and performance. The design methodology consists of four main steps: (i) the system modeling using flexible multibody technique, (ii) the synthesis of reduced-order models suitable for control design, (iii) the systematic flexible model-based input signal design, and (iv) the evaluation of some possible machine designs. The novelty in this methodology is to take structural flexibilities into consideration during the input signal design; therefore, enhancing the standard design process which mainly considers rigid bodies dynamics. The potential of the proposed strategy is exploited for the design evaluation of a two degree-of-freedom high-speed parallel manipulator. The results are experimentally validated.11enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessjournal article10.1016/j.mechmachtheory.2010.07.002Feedforward signalFlexible multibody systemsMotion planningParallel manipulatorsBioengineeringMechanics of MaterialsMechanical EngineeringComputer Science Applicationshttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=77956395222&partnerID=8YFLogxK
