Abstract

This master thesis features a theoretical analysis of the fuel manipulator for MYRRHA. The fuel manipulator is modelled in 20Sim and MatLAB. First, a kinematic motion analysis is done to determine operating space, DOFs, velocities of the joints. Secondly, a dynamic analysis is done to determine the forces in the different joints.
