Enumeration of Optimal Pin-Jointed Bistable Compliant Mechanisms
Recently, a new type of mechanism called compliant mechanism has been developed and applied mainly in the field of micro-mechanics. A compliant mechanism has flexible parts to stabilize the structure, which is contrary to the conventional unstable mechanism. Although a compliant mechanism is usually modeled as a continuum with elastic joints, it is possible to generate the similar mechanism by ...
متن کاملRealistic Rendering of Kinetostatic Indices of Mechanisms
The work presented in this paper is related to the use of a haptic device in an environment of robotic simulation. Such device introduces a new approach to feel and to understand the boundaries of the workspace of mechanisms as well as its kinetostatic properties. Indeed, these concepts are abstract and thus often difficult to understand for the end-users. To catch his attention, we propose to ...
متن کاملDesign Optimization of a Fully-compliant Bistable Micro-mechanism
Bistable behavior is desirable for a variety of applications because power is applied only during switching, and the mechanism state remains the same regardless of any power interruptions. The low variability in the stable positions also makes accurate open-loop control of many systems possible, and the precise switching characteristics make them valuable in sensing arrays. In this paper, fully...
متن کاملBistable Mechanisms for Space Applications
Compliant bistable mechanisms are monolithic devices with two stable equilibrium positions separated by an unstable equilibrium position. They show promise in space applications as nonexplosive release mechanisms in deployment systems, thereby eliminating friction and improving the reliability and precision of those mechanical devices. This paper presents both analytical and numerical models th...
متن کاملEnumeration of Optimal Pin-Jointed Bistable Compliant Mechanisms with Non-Crossing Members
An optimization approach is presented for enumerating pin-jointed bistable compliant mechanisms. In the first stage, the statically determinate trusses with non-crossing members containing a given set of nodes and some pre-defined members are regarded as minimally rigid framework or a Laman framework, and are enumerated without repetitions by the graph enumeration algorithm. In the second stage...
