RISHybrid Compliant Mechanism Design Using a Mixed Mesh of Flexure Hinge Elements and Beam Elements Through Topology Optimization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper proposes a topology optimization framework to design compliant mechanisms with a mixed mesh of both beams and flexure hinges for the design domain. Further, a new type of finite element, i.e., super flexure hinge ...
Toward a Unified Design Approach for Both Compliant Mechanisms and Rigid Body Mechanisms: Module Optimization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Rigidbody mechanisms (RBMs) and compliant mechanisms (CMs) are traditionally treated in significantly different ways. In this paper, we present a synthesis approach that is appropriate for both RBMs and CMs. In this approach, ...
