Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, Polypropylene Copolymer, Static SimulationAbstract
Plastic materials are widely used in the robotics industry due to their strength, low weight, and ease of fabrication. This study analyzes the static structural performance of a 4-DOF robotic arm designed using SolidWorks 2022 to compare the mechanical characteristics of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Polypropylene Copolymer (PP). The simulation was conducted using a static analysis module with fixed constraints on the base, material properties defined from the SolidWorks material library, and loads applied to the gripper tip. Key assumptions include linear elastic behavior, isotropic material properties, and quasi-static loading conditions. The results show that ABS exhibits better mechanical performance than PP under all tested loads (50 N, 100 N, 200 N, and 400 N). At a 50 N load, ABS recorded a maximum stress of 2.792 MPa, maximum displacement of 4.305 mm, maximum strain of 0.001, and a minimum safety factor of 10.7, while PP produced 2.631 MPa stress, 9.334 mm displacement, 0.002 strain, and a safety factor of 10.4. Overall, the analysis indicates that ABS offers superior stiffness and lower deformation, making it more suitable for the robotic arm application compared to PP Copolymer.
