Synthesis of C0 Path Generating Contact Aided Compliant Mechanisms Using the Material Mask Overlay Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Contactaided compliant mechanisms (CCMs) are synthesized via the material mask overlay strategy (MMOS) to trace desired nonsmooth paths. MMOS employs hexagonal cells to discretize the design region and engages negative ...
Computational Synthesis of Large Deformation Compliant Mechanisms Undergoing Self and Mutual Contact
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Topologies of large deformation contact-aided compliant mechanisms (CCMs), with self and mutual contact, exemplified via path generation applications, are designed using the continuum synthesis approach. Design domain is ...
