Computational synthesis of large deformation compliant mechanisms undergoing self and mutual contact
Topologies of large deformation Contact-aided Compliant Mechanisms (CCMs), with self and mutual contact, exemplified via path generation applications, are designed using the continuum synthesis approach. Design domains are parameterized using honeycomb tessellation. Assignment of material to each cell, and generation of rigid contact surfaces, are accomplished via suitably sizing and positionin...
متن کاملTopology optimization for synthesis of contact-aided compliant mechanisms using regularized contact modeling
A topology optimization technique for systematically designing contact-aided compliant mechanisms (CCM) is presented in this paper. A CCM is a single piece elastic body that uses intermittent contacts in addition to elastic deformation to transmit force and motion. Contact interactions give rise to interesting nonlinear and nonsmooth behaviors even under the small deflection assumption made in ...
متن کاملComputational Models for Design and Analysis of Compliant Mechanisms
iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my appreciation to those who supported me through my thesis research. First I would like to thank Dr. Kok-Meng Lee for giving me an opportunity to participate in this project. His inspiring advices and constant encouragement have so much influence on the accomplishment of my Ph. D. thesis. The most important thing that I learned from him is his philos...
متن کاملElectrostriction in elastic dielectrics undergoing large deformation
We develop a thermodynamic model of electrostriction for elastic dielectrics capable of large deformation. The model reproduces the classical equations of state for dielectrics at small deformation, but shows that some electrostrictive effects negligible at small deformation may become pronounced at large deformation. The model is then specialized to account for recent experiments with an elast...
متن کاملTopology and Dimensional Synthesis of Compliant Mechanisms Using Discrete Optimization
A unified approach to topology and dimensional synthesis of compliant mechanisms is presented in this paper as a discrete optimization problem employing both discrete (topology) and continuous (size) variables. The synthesis scheme features a design parameterization method that treats load paths as discrete design variables to represent various topologies, thereby ensuring structural connectivi...
