RISA Design Tool for a Single Vertex Compliant-Facet Origami Mechanism Including Torsional Hinge Lines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Principles from origami art are applied in the design of mechanisms and robotics increasingly frequent. A large part of the application driven research of these origami-like mechanisms focuses on devices where the creases ...
Pseudo-Rigid-Body Modeling of a Single Vertex Compliant-Facet Origami Mechanism
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recently, there has been an increased interest in origami art from a mechanism design perspective. The deployable nature and the planar fabrication method inherent to origami provide potential for space and cost-efficient ...
Synthesis of Dynamically Balanced Mechanisms by Using Counter-Rotary Countermass Balanced Double Pendula
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Complete dynamic balancing principles still cannot avoid a substantial increase in mass and inertia. In addition, the conditions for dynamic balance and inertia equations can be complicated to ...
A Platform for Grasp Performance Assessment in Compliant or Underactuated Hands
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the design and evaluation of a platform for the assessment of the performance of compliant or underactuated hands. The position of objects relative to the hand can be ...
Static Balancing of Four-Bar Compliant Mechanisms With Torsion Springs by Exerting Negative Stiffness Using Linear Spring At the Instant Center of Rotation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A design approach for the quasi-static balancing of four-bar linkages with torsion springs is proposed. Such an approach is useful in the design of quasi-statically balanced fully compliant mechanisms by tuning the stiffness ...
Symmetric Kinetostatic Behavior From Asymmetric Spatially Curved Beams
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A cantilevered rod’s endpoint has a symmetric stiffness profile throughout its range of motion. Generally, this is not the case for spatially curved compliant beams, particularly if they are asymmetric, i.e., their fixation ...
Design of a Compact Gravity Equilibrator With an Unlimited Range of Motion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A gravity equilibrator is a statically balanced system which is designed to counterbalance a mass such that any preferred position is eliminated and thereby the required operating effort to move the mass is greatly reduced. ...
Comparison of Various Dynamic Balancing Principles Regarding Additional Mass and Additional Inertia
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The major disadvantage of existing dynamic balancing principles is that a considerable amount of mass and inertia is added to the system. The objectives of this article are to summarize, to ...
A Monolithic Force-Balanced Oscillator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Usage of compliant micromechanical oscillators has increased in recent years, due to their reliable performance despite the growing demand for miniaturization. However, ambient vibrations affect the momentum of such ...
An Energy Approach to Static Balancing of Systems With Torsion Stiffness
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Static balance can be applied to improve the energy efficiency of mechanisms. In the field of static balancing, there is a lack of knowledge and design methods that are capable of dealing ...
