RISLevel Set Based Topology Optimization of Hinge Free Compliant Mechanisms Using a Two Step Elastic Modeling Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a twostep elastic modeling (TsEM) method for the topology optimization of compliant mechanisms aimed at eliminating de facto hinges. Based on the TsEM method, an alternative formulation is developed and ...
A Velocity Predictor–Corrector Scheme in Level Set Based Topology Optimization to Improve Computational Efficiency
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an optimization method for solving level setbased topology optimization problems. A predictor–corrector scheme for constructing the velocity field is developed. In this method, after the velocity ...
A Systematic Method for Developing Harmonic Cantilevers for Atomic Force Microscopy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper proposes a method for developing harmonic cantilevers for tapping mode atomic force microscopy (AFM). The natural frequencies of an AFM cantilever are tuned by inserting gridiron holes with specific sizes and ...
