Abstract: Abstract. Diaphragm flexures are widely used in various precision applications to generate guided motion along the out-of-plane directions and provide load bearing along the in-plane directions. The traditional Asymmetric ...

Abstract: Abstract. This paper introduces a new class of single-degree-of-freedom (DoF) compliant mechanisms that exhibit optimal bearing characteristics, defined by low stiffness in the out-of-plane motion direction, high stiffness ...

Abstract: This article investigates the nonminimum phase (NMP) zeros in the transfer function, between actuated load input and measured displacement output, of a multi-degrees-of-freedom (DoF) flexible system in the presence of ...

Abstract: Parallelogram flexure mechanism (PFM) is a common flexure module that is widely used as a building block in the design and manufacturing of flexure-based XY motion stages that provide in-plane degrees-of-freedom (DoFs). ...

Abstract: Abstract. This article investigates nonminimum phase zeros in the transfer function, between actuated load input and measured position output, of multi-degrees-of-freedom (DoF) undamped flexible systems. The transfer ...

Abstract: It is well known that real nonminimum phase (RNMP) zeros impose a tradeoff between the settling time and undershoot in the step response of flexible systems. Existing methods to alleviate this tradeoff predominantly rely ...
