Abstract: This article investigates the nonminimum phase (NMP) zeros in the transfer function, between actuated load input and measured displacement output, of a multi-degrees-of-freedom (DoF) flexible system in the presence of ...

Abstract: Parallelogram flexure mechanism (PFM) is a common flexure module that is widely used as a building block in the design and manufacturing of flexure-based XY motion stages that provide in-plane degrees-of-freedom (DoFs). ...

Abstract: It is well known that real nonminimum phase (RNMP) zeros impose a tradeoff between the settling time and undershoot in the step response of flexible systems. Existing methods to alleviate this tradeoff predominantly rely ...
