RISEmbedded Linear-Motion Developable Mechanisms on Cylindrical Surfaces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study introduces methods for developing embedded straight-line and linear-motion mechanisms on right circular cylinders. Developable surfaces, particularly right circular cylinders, are the manufactured embodiment of ...
Hexagonal Twist Origami Pattern for Deployable Space Arrays
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The hexagonal twist origami pattern has characteristics that made it a candidate for nextgeneration deployable space arrays. It has a deployed area that is up to 3.3 times larger than the stowed area, has a singledegreeoffreedom ...
The Mixed-Body Model: A Method for Predicting Large Deflections in Stepped Cantilever Beams
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a method for predicting endpoint coordinates, stress, and force to deflect stepped cantilever beams under large deflections. This method, the mixed-body model or MBM, combines small deflection theory ...
An Origami-Based Medical Support System to Mitigate Flexible Shaft Buckling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the development of an origami-inspired support system (the OriGuide) that enables the insertion of flexible instruments using medical robots. Varying parameters of a triangulated cylindrical origami ...
Selecting and Optimizing Origami Flasher Pattern Configurations for Finite-Thickness Deployable Space Arrays
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Design parameters of the origami flasher pattern can be modified to meet a variety of design objectives for deployable array applications. The focus of this paper is to improve the understanding of design parameters, ...
Leveraging Compliance to Design a Minimally Invasive, Expandable Interbody Cage Capable of Customized Anatomical Fit for Spinal Fusion Surgery
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As spinal fusion surgery continues to transition to less invasive techniques, there remains an unmet need for ever smaller and more complex interbody cages to meet the unique needs of this difficult surgery. This work ...
