Modeling and Analysis of a Tensegrity-Based Vibratory Platform Driven by Piezoelectric Actuators Using IronCAD

This study aims to perform a simulation study of a tensegrity-based vibratory platform driven by piezoelectrical actuators using IronCAD software. The platform is capable of advancing parts in any specified direction or rotation on the horizontal plane. The platform’s structure is presented first. Then, the proposed platform's solid model is established using IronCAD software. Moreover, piezoelectric actuators are modeled in Multiphysics for IronCAD by specifying the piezoelectric material properties. Various inputs to the platform are simulated and investigated. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of IronCAD for modeling and analyzing the proposed design.
