ABSTRACT
The paper is focused on the analysis of the Stewart platform to be used in the development of a device for the determination of mechanical properties of materials used for substituting spinal segments of human bodies. At the present time, the Stewart platform is widely used and its popularity is due mainly to the following facts, in comparison with serial mechanisms: higher stiffness, better dynamic properties of the mechanism, higher accuracy of the mechanism, precise and easy positioning. Simulations are conducted for the determination of an acceptable control system based on fuzzy logic. A controller description is included.
