Abstract: A wire beam is a single-translation constraint along its axial direction. It offers many applications in compliant mechanisms, such as being a transmitting/decoupling element connected to a linear actuator and being a ...

Abstract: The design of XY compliant parallel manipulators (CPMs) remains challenging considering the tradeoff between mirror-symmetry for better constrained undesired rotations and a small footprint, although a significant number ...

Abstract: This article presents a nonlinear model of an inversion-based generalized cross-spring pivot (IG-CSP) using the beam constraint model (BCM), which can be employed for the geometric error analysis and the characteristic ...
