ロボット用せん断支持型高分子弾性要素の機械特性

抄録

In recent years, polymer materials as an elastic component of robots are receiving attention. Among the polymer elastic materials, it has been well known that polyurethane has superior mechanical properties. This is because the polyurethane rubber spring has a larger working range of the deformation and viscosity compared to conventional steel springs. This study evaluates the elastic and viscous properties of polyurethane rubber spring in the shear direction, which could be useful for robotic revolute joints.
