The precision of these tests is significantly influenced by the system\u2019s stability and workspace, both of which are shaped by the geometric configuration of the structure and the tension in the wires. To acquire the efficiency principle of the suspension scheme design for the model, a kinematics model for a WDPR-8 was established. Based on the kinematics model, the stiffness of a WDPR-8 was theoretically studied, and the analytical expression of stiffness matrix of a WDPR was deduced. The stiffness matrix was composed of two terms, one of which is determined by the configuration of suspension system and the other term is determined by the wire tension. Based on the analysis result, a set of suspension scheme was discussed under the calculation of stiffness matrix and workspace analysis. In the discussion process, in addition to the stiffness-maximum calculation, another criterion as force closure is presented, which is useful for increasing the stiffness and workspace of the robot. Finally, a prototype was established according to the analysis result, and the workspace experiments are conducted. Test results indicate that the workspace meets the design requirements, validating the system suspension design method of a WDPR for aircraft model suspension in wind tunnel test considering of the systematic stiffness and workspace.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0263574724001413","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,5]],"date-time":"2024-11-05T09:39:52Z","timestamp":1730799592000},"page":"3380-3397","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Design of a wire-driven parallel robot for wind tunnel test based on the analysis of stiffness and workspace"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"42","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2348-8534","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yangfeng","family":"Ji","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9787-9178","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miaojiao","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Qi","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0263574724001413_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0278364915595277"},{"key":"S0263574724001413_ref1","volume-title":"Support Interference of Wind Tunnel Models: A Selective Annotated Bibliography","author":"Tuttle","year":"1981"},{"key":"S0263574724001413_ref27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0954406219846536"},{"key":"S0263574724001413_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mechmachtheory.2022.105159"},{"key":"S0263574724001413_ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/CSAE.2012.6272901"},{"key":"S0263574724001413_ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.robot.2019.01.012"},{"key":"S0263574724001413_ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0263574723000930"},{"key":"S0263574724001413_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"[10] Wang, X.-G. , Ma, S.-Y. and Lin, Q. , \u201cHybrid Pose\/Tension Control Based on Stiffness Optimization of Cable-Driven Parallel Mechanism in Wind Tunnel Test,\u201d In:\u00a0Proceedings -
