RISDeterminate Design and Analytical Analysis of a Class of Symmetrical Flexure Guiding Mechanisms for Linear Actuators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper designs and analyses a class of single-axis translational flexure guiding mechanisms for linear actuators. The proposed flexure mechanisms have symmetrical configurations to eliminate parasitic motion for better ...
Determinate Synthesis of Symmetrical, Monolithic Tip–Tilt–Piston Flexure Stages
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper mainly deals with the determinate design/synthesis of a class of symmetrical and monolithic flexure mechanisms. Each is composed of six identical in-plane wire beams with uniform square cross sections. These ...
Nonlinear Analytical Modeling and Characteristic Analysis of a Class of Compound Multibeam Parallelogram Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper deals with nonlinear analytical models of a class of compound multibeam parallelogram mechanisms (CMPMs) along with the static characteristic analysis. The CMPM is composed of multiple compound basic parallelogram ...
Extended Static Modeling and Analysis of Compliant Compound Parallelogram Mechanisms Considering the Initial Internal Axial Force*
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Extended nonlinear analytical modeling and analysis of compound parallelogram mechanisms are conducted in this paper to consider the effect of the initial internal axial force. The nonlinear analytical model of a compound ...
Design of a Morphing Compliant Mechanism With Separate Gripping and Retraction Modes Using a Single Actuation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A key aspect of robotics and automation is continuous repetition of predefined travel and actions. One such example is a robotic gripper, gripping an object, retracting, and displacing it. Usually, two separate actuations ...
Position Space Based Compliant Mechanism Reconfiguration Approach and Its Application in the Reduction of Parasitic Motion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper introduces a positionspacebased reconfiguration (PSR) approach to the reconfiguration of compliant mechanisms. The PSR approach can be employed to reconstruct a compliant mechanism into many new compliant ...
Nonlinear Analysis of a Class of Inversion-Based Compliant Cross-Spring Pivots
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article presents a nonlinear model of an inversion-based generalized cross-spring pivot (IG-CSP) using the beam constraint model (BCM), which can be employed for the geometric error analysis and the characteristic ...
Design and Modeling of a Non-Flat Foldable Tubular Kirigami With Compliant Joints
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper applies the kirigami technique to a non-rigid foldable tubular origami to make a rigid foldable tubular design, i.e., a radially closable kirigami (RC-kiri). The laminar emergent torsional (LET) compliant joint ...
Design and Analysis of Leaf Beam Single-Translation Constraint Compliant Modules and the Resulting Spherical Joints
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A wire beam is a single-translation constraint along its axial direction. It offers many applications in compliant mechanisms, such as being a transmitting/decoupling element connected to a linear actuator and being a ...
Design and Experimental Testing of an Improved Large Range Decoupled XY Compliant Parallel Micromanipulator1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There is an increasing need for XY compliant parallel micromanipulators (CPMs) providing good performance characteristics such as large motion range, wellconstrained crossaxis coupling, and parasitic rotation. Decoupled ...
