Abstract
This paper investigates the synthesis of a spatial stiffness matrix using simple line springs. A new algorithm is developed, which enables the selection of constituent springs based on their positions and directions. The constraining space of the line springs is then investigated. It is shown that an isotropic stiffness matrix, in general, can be split into the sum of two rank-3 stiffness matrices. The three line springs of the first matrix can be selected to pass through any arbitrary points in space, while the three line springs of the second stiffness matrix lie on a quadric surface, which is usually a hyperboloid of one sheet.

The Principal Axes Decomposition of Spatial Stiffness Matrices

TL;DR: Using the principal axes decomposition, some physical appreciations, such as the center of stiffness, the wrench-compliant axes, and the correspondence of compliance and stiffness, can be derived to reveal the inherent structure of spatial stiffness in an intuitive manner.

Screw System Approach to Physical Realization of Stiffness Matrix With Arbitrary Rank

TL;DR: In this paper, the stiffness matrix is expressed in terms of the screw coordinates with respect to the basis consisting of its eigenvectors, and the synthesis equation is derived, which allows one to select the positions or directions of the springs from the screw system spanned by the induced wrenches of the given stiffness matrix.

Geometric Construction-Based Realization of Spatial Elastic Behaviors in Parallel and Serial Manipulators

TL;DR: Necessary and sufficient conditions for a manipulator (either parallel or serial) to realize a specific elastic behavior are presented and interpreted in terms of the manipulator geometry, and new construction-based synthesis procedures for spatial elastic behaviors are developed.

Admittance matrix design for force-guided assembly

TL;DR: The authors address the design of manipulator admittance for reliable force-guided assembly to design the admittance of the manipulator so that, at all possible bounded part misalignments, the contact forces always lead to error-reducing motions.
