Análisis cinemático y cinético del mecanismo Theo Jansen. Diseño y construcción de juguete prototipo

Abstract

In the present titling work, the kinematic and kinetic study of the mechanism Theo Jansen, created by the Dutch artist of the same name, has been made. As an application of the mechanism studied, a prototype toy has been designed and built. To do this, we studied the theoretical basis of mechanisms, mainly Theo Jansen mechanism. The kinematic analysis consisted of determining the positions, velocities and linear accelerations of each mechanism joint, which was achieved by the closed loop method. The kinetic or dynamic analysis of the mechanism consisted in determining the value of the Torque needed for its movement, which was achieved by the virtual work method. The application developed was a toy horse, designed with the Solidworks program and printed using FDM technology, in ABS and PLA material.
