Abstract :
This paper aims at finding a way by which the maximum displacement at the free end of a cantilever can be controlled precisely by applying an additional bending moment at an arbitrary point of the cantilever. It is made clear that theoretical, experimental and numerical results coincide well with each others and that this method is useful for controlling precisely a cantilever type manipulator.
