RISEliminating Underconstraint in Double Parallelogram Flexure Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We present an improved flexure linkage design for removing underconstraint in a double parallelogram (DP) linear flexural mechanism. This new linkage alleviates many of the problems associated with current linkage design ...
Fabrication of Six Degrees-of-Freedom Hexflex Positioner With Integrated Strain Sensing Using Nonlithographically Based Microfabrication
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A process flow is described for the low cost, flexible fabrication of metal micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) with high performance integrated sensing. The process is capable of producing new designs in ≈1 week at an ...
Effect of Proximity of Features on the Damage Threshold During Submicron Additive Manufacturing Via Two-Photon Polymerization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Two-photon polymerization (TPP) is a laser writing process that enables fabrication of millimeter scale three-dimensional (3D) structures with submicron features. In TPP, writing is achieved via nonlinear two-photon ...
A Systems Approach to Estimating the Uncertainty Limits of X-Ray Radiographic Metrology
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Micro- and nanomanufacturing capabilities have rapidly expanded over the past decade to include complex three-dimensional (3D) structure fabrication; however, the metrology required to accurately assess these processes via ...
