Compliant shell mechanisms.
This paper describes a class of lightweight structures known as compliant shell mechanisms. These are novel reconfigurable solutions for advanced structures, such as morphing shells and deployable membranes. They have local, discrete corrugations, which articulate and deform to achieve dramatic changes in the overall shape of the shell. The unique kinematics are considered by highlighting examp...
متن کاملDynamic Analysis of Compliant Mechanisms
A systematic method for dynamic analysis of compliant mechanisms is presented including basic formulations for natural frequencies, modes, dynamic response, and frequency characteristics. Methods for design sensitivity analysis are developed to investigate the effect of various design parameters on the dynamic performance of compliant mechanisms. A micro compliant stroke amplifier mechanism, fo...
متن کاملMicrofabrication of Heterogeneous, Optimized Compliant Mechanisms
Metal deposition by electroplating has been extensively used and analyzed for industrial applications, but it remains insufficiently characterized for fabricating compliant micromechanisms. This research presents a new fabrication process for heterogeneous optimized compliant mechanisms that consists of placing two materials side by side as opposed to the convention of stacking materials layer ...
متن کاملDesigning Distributed Compliant Mechanisms with Characteristic Stiffness
A novel method is proposed in this paper to address the cutting-edge problem of topology optimization of distributed compliant mechanisms, which requires the design to possess both large output displacements and evenly distributed compliance simultaneously. The design is represented by a level-set model that precisely specifies the distinct material regions and their sharp interfaces as well as...
متن کاملOperating Unknown Constrained Mechanisms with Compliant Robots
We present an approach for operating unknown one-degree-of-freedom (DoF) mechanisms, using a compliant robot. The key aspect of our approach is that we make only little assumptions about the operated mechanism in terms of imposed kinematic constraints on the end-effector as well as dynamic properties, which can not always be neglected. The proposed system consists of: i) a constraint estimator ...
