Abstract: Compliant mechanisms, such as compliant spherical parallel joints, play a vital role in engineering applications, often relying on single-translation constraint wire beams. However, these wire beams have inherent shortcomings, ...

Abstract: Obtaining accurate components' characteristic maps has great significant for gas-turbine operating optimization and gas-path fault diagnosis. A common approach is to modify the original components' characteristic maps by ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: The design of XY compliant parallel manipulators (CPMs) remains challenging considering the tradeoff between mirror-symmetry for better constrained undesired rotations and a small footprint, although a significant number ...
