Abstract: This paper presents for the first time a literature survey toward the design of compliant homokinetic couplings. The rigidlinkagebased constant velocity universal joints (CV joints) available from literature were studied, ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a homokinetic coupling, a constant velocity universal joint (CV joint), which is fully compliant and potentially monolithic. The proposed compliant design can accommodate high misalignment angles ...

Abstract: In this study, a flexure-based (compliant) linear guide with a motion range comparable to its footprint is presented. The design consists of two-folded leaf springs on which torsion reinforcement structures are added. Due ...

Abstract: A great deal of engineering effort is focused on changing mechanical material properties by creating microstructural architectures instead of modifying chemical composition. This results in meta-materials, which can exhibit ...
