RISDesign Strategies for the Topology Synthesis of Dual Input-Single Output Compliant Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, design strategies are presented for the topology synthesis of dual input-single output compliant mechanisms. Decomposition methods are proposed to yield tractable subproblems to ...
Curve Decomposition for Large Deflection Analysis of Fixed-Guided Beams With Application to Statically Balanced Compliant Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Statically balanced compliant mechanisms require no holding force throughout their range of motion while maintaining the advantages of compliant mechanisms. In this paper, a postbuckled fixed-guided ...
An Intrinsic Geometric Framework for the Building Block Synthesis of Single Point Compliant Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we implement a characterization based on eigentwists and eigenwrenches for the synthesis of a compliant mechanism at a given point. For 2D mechanisms, this involves characterizing ...
Negative Stiffness Building Blocks for Statically Balanced Compliant Mechanisms: Design and Testing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In some applications, nonconstant energy storage in the flexible segments of compliant mechanisms is undesired, particularly when high efficiency or high-fidelity force feedback is required. In ...
Toward the Design of a Decoupled, Two-Dimensional, Vision-Based μN Force Sensor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we present three designs for a decoupled, two-dimensional, vision-based micro-Newton (μN) force sensor for microrobotic applications. There are currently no reliable, multi-axis, ...
