Large Stroke Performance Optimization of Spatial Flexure Hinges
Flexure hinges inherently lose stiffness in supporting directions when deflected. In this paper a method is presented for optimizing the geometry of flexure hinges, while supporting stiffnesses are retained. These hinges are subjected to a load and deflected an angle of up to ±20°. The measure of performance is defined by the first unwanted eigenfrequency, which is closely related to the suppor...
متن کاملMechanics Model for Simulating RC Hinges under Reversed Cyclic Loading
Describing the moment rotation (M/θ) behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) hinges is essential in predicting the behavior of RC structures under severe loadings, such as under cyclic earthquake motions and blast loading. The behavior of RC hinges is defined by localized slip or partial interaction (PI) behaviors in both the tension and compression region. In the tension region, slip between the ...
متن کاملA simple and efficient dynamic modelling method for compliant micropositioning mechanisms using flexure hinges
In this paper we consider the dynamic modelling of compliant micropositioning mechanisms using flexure hinges. A simple modelling method is presented that is particularly useful for modelling parallel micropositioning mechanisms. This method is based upon linearisation of the geometric constraint equations of the compliant mechanism. This results in a linear kinematic model, a constant Jacobian...
متن کاملA Generic Compliance Modeling Method for Two-Axis Elliptical-Arc-Filleted Flexure Hinges
As a kind of important flexible joint, two-axis flexure hinges can realize in-plane and out-of-plane motions and can be used for constructing flexure-based spatial compliant mechanisms. The paper introduces a common two-axis elliptical-arc-filleted flexure hinge that is generated by two different elliptical-arc-filleted cutout profiles and that provides some new hinge types. The analytical comp...
متن کاملGeneralized ensemble and tempering simulations: a unified view.
From the underlying master equations we derive one-dimensional stochastic processes that describe generalized ensemble simulations as well as tempering (simulated and parallel) simulations. The representations obtained are either in the form of a one-dimensional Fokker-Planck equation or a hopping process on a one-dimensional chain. In particular, we discuss the conditions under which these rep...
