Record 3 1999-04-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Engineering Tests and Reliability

DEF

Ability of a mechanism or structure to elastically deform in response to forces and torques. When such deflecting forces are removed, the structure returns to an equilibrium position.

CONT

A compliant mechanical device deflects without causing damage, whenever it is pushed against a fixed object. This compliance makes it possible to program a robot without having extremely precise information about the position of either the fixed object or the robot.

OBS

The reciprocal of stiffness.

OBS

When the behavior is independent of sensory feedback, it is passive compliance; if not, it is active compliance.

OBS

compliance: term standardized by ISO and CSA.

Key term(s)
  • active compliance
  • passive compliance

Domaine(s)
  • Fiabilité, contrôle et essais (Ingénierie)
  • Automatisation et applications
CONT

On englobe souvent dans la notion de compliance, active ou passive, le principe de créer des déplacements correctifs en fonction des efforts de contact. Le dispositif peut être assimilé à un système fonctionnant en boucle fermée puisqu'il y a (simultanément) détection d'effort (déformation élastique) et rétroaction (déplacement relatif des objets en contact).

CONT

Dispositifs utilisant une compliance passive.

OBS

complaisance : terme normalisé par l'ISO et la CSA; compliance : terme normalisé par l'ISO.
