Spherical Smart Brake for Multi-Degree of Freedom and Positional Stability

It is observed that, the conventional material fall short to meet the requirement of current devices; like instant change in mechanical properties while in process. Thus there exit need to adopt small material which exhibits change in properties with respect to the input obtained from system/user. Another issue that exist with such smart material is the stability and their properties. The mechanical system to be employed is highly flexible systems like robot demand multidegree of freedom and the positional stability of their components. In the present work attempts are made to employ MR fluid along with innovative spherical joints to develop a positional stability joint having multi degree of freedom. The design and modelling work is accomplished by using modelling software CATIA V5. Whereas the analysis part is carried out by using CAE software.
