Soft Origami: Classification, Constraint, and Actuation of Highly Compliant Origami Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Herein, we discuss the folding of highly compliant origami structures—“Soft Origami.†There are benefits to be had in folding compliant sheets (which cannot selfguide their motion) rather than conventional rigid ...
Design of a Compact Biaxial Tensile Stage for Fabrication and Tuning of Complex Micro and Nano scale Wrinkle Patterns
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Wrinkling of thin films is a straindriven process that enables scalable and lowcost fabrication of periodic microand nanoscale patterns. In the past, singleperiod sinusoidal wrinkles have been applied for thinfilm metrology ...
Nanomanufacturing Methods for the Reduction of Noise in Carbon Nanotube Based Piezoresistive Sensor Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Carbon nanotube (CNT)based piezoresistive strain sensors have the potential to outperform traditional siliconbased piezoresistors in MEMS devices due to their high strain sensitivity. However, the resolution of CNTbased ...
Fabrication of Six Degrees-of-Freedom Hexflex Positioner With Integrated Strain Sensing Using Nonlithographically Based Microfabrication
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A process flow is described for the low cost, flexible fabrication of metal micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) with high performance integrated sensing. The process is capable of producing new designs in ≈1 week at an ...
Torque Measurement With Compliant Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work focuses on the design, development, and testing of an inexpensive, lowprofile, cartwheel flexure mechanism for torque measurement. It has been designed primarily for use in a rehabilitation and diagnostics ...
