Sparse monolithic compliant mechanisms using continuum structural topology optimization
A formulation for design of continuous, hinge-free compliant mechanisms is developed and examined within a continuum structural topology optimization framework. The formulation makes use of two distinctly different sets of springs, the first of which are artificial springs of relatively large stiffness attached to the input and output ports of the mechanism model, and the second of which are sp...
متن کاملMechanical design, analysis and testing of a large-range compliant microgripper
This paper presents the mechanical design, analysis, fabrication, and testing procedures of a new large-range microgripper which is based on a flexible hinge structure. The uniqueness of the gripper is that the gripper arms not only provide large gripping range but also deliver approximately rectilinear movement as the displacement in nonworking direction is extremely small. The large gripping ...
متن کاملA CMOS monolithic analog multiplier with wide input dynamic range
A novel CMOS monolithic analog multiplier capable of operating in two quadrants is described in this thesis. The multiplier incorporates a voltage-controlled variable linear resistor comprised of two FET transistors in the feedback network of an operational amplifier. This novel approach to implementing an analog multiplier results in good linearity and wide input dynamic range when compared to...
متن کاملLarge-Area APDs and Monolithic APD Arrays
In this paper, development of large-area planar avalanche photodiodes (APDs) and monolithic APD arrays for X-ray and scintillation detection is discussed. Single APDs with areas as large as 10 cm have been fabricated and tested with a CsI(Tl) scintillator (3.8 cm diameter, 2.5 cm height). The resolution of the 662-keV photopeak has been measured to be 9% (FWHM). The X-ray detection performance,...
متن کاملDesign. Fabrication, and Testing of a Three-Dimensional Monolithic Compliant Six-Axis Nanopositioner
The purpose of this research was to demonstrate the feasibility for creating a threedimensional monolithic compliant six-axis nanopositioner. Much of this work was based off of the original two-dimensional HexFlex manipulator created by Prof. Martin Culpepper and a three-dimensional design by Samuel Korb. The compliant mechanism was manufactured from a single sheet of 1/8 inch 5052 Aluminum. Th...
