Abstract:
The Roberts linkage is recognized for enabling long-period pendulum motion in a compact format. Utilizing this characteristic, we are developing a three-point Roberts linkage for vibration isolation systems, with an eye toward its potential contribution to the development of next-generation interferometric gravitational wave antennas. In this article, we derived the equations to determine the essential parameters when using this linkage as a vibration isolation system, namely, the equivalent pendulum length and the relationship between translational motion of the center of mass and rigid body rotation, from size parameters. In addition, we analyzed the behavior in response to various errors.

Relative Motion Analysis - Velocity
When an external force is exerted, it sets the crank into a rotational movement. This, in turn, instigates the motion of the connecting rod, leading to what is referred to as a general plane motion. This process involves two key points - point A on the connecting rod...
Routh-Hurwitz Criterion II
The first scenario occurs when a singular zero appears in the first column of the Routh table. This situation creates a division by zero issues. To resolve this, a small positive or negative number, denoted as epsilon (∈), is substituted for the zero. The stability analysis proceeds by assuming a sign for ∈. If ∈ is positive, any sign change in the first...
