title = "Modal analysis and mode shape selection for modeling an experimental two-link flexible manipulator",
abstract = "An experimental, planar, two-link, flexible manipulator is described. Results from frequency response and modal testing of the manipulator are presented. The varying vibrational properties of the manipulator through its work space are discussed with an emphasis on the decoupling of individual link modes as the elbow angle approaches 90°. Interpretation of the composite manipulator mode shapes using the individual link modes is discussed. Using the experimental modal analyses as a guide, the choice of assumed modes for a dynamic model based on Bernoulli-Euler eigenfunctions is discussed.",
