Abstract :
A new method of computing optimum mass and rigidity distributions for composite flexible manipulators with tip loads is presented. The design problem is classified as minimum weight design or maximum speed design with appropriate constraints. Multiple tip load designs are considered, as well as practical issues related to link construction
