Abstract: A precision-scaling kinematic model with the effects of physical error is investigated in the miniaturization of four-bar polymer machines with compliant joints. A pseudolinkages model (PLM) for ...

Abstract: A methodology to integrate FEA, pseudo-linkages model, and experimental test for input-output modeling and error analysis of compliant micromachine is developed. A four-bar micromachine fabricated ...

Abstract: Multileaf foil bearing has various advantages including long-life, high-speed, low power loss, etc. Oil lubricated multileaf foil bearing compared with gas lubricated foil bearing is more favorable ...
