Compliant Hydrostatic Bearings Utilizing Functionally Graded Materials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Deformability of hydrostatic bearings could potentially increase their application range significantly. When a bearing is made compliant, the film pressure starts to influence the deformation of the support itself. This ...
Overview and Kinetostatic Characterization of Compliant Shell Mechanism Building Blocks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Compliant shell mechanisms utilize thin-walled structures to achieve motion and force generation. Shell mechanisms, because of their thin-walled nature and spatial geometry, are building blocks for spatial mechanism ...
Compliant Joints Utilizing the Principle of Closed Form Pressure Balancing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Compliant joints have significant advantages compared to rigid-body hinges due to a monolithic design and the absence of friction, which prevents effects like wear, backlash, and stick-slip behavior. However, the loading ...
