Abstract The analyzed electrohydraulic servo valve is jet pipe type, is one of the mechatronics component used for precision flow control application. It consists of several precision and delicate components. For the analysis the jet pipe assembly of servovalve is identified and conducted a direct-solution steady-state dynamic analysis to study the response of the system for harmonic excitation...

Strengthening of concrete structures is applied as a solution for various deterioration problems in civil engineering practice. This paper presents an analytical study the behaviour cross-section reinforced (RC) beam, strengthened flexure with fiber polymer (FRP) materials. Using balance internal forces cross section through all phases stress which passes, program was written MATLsoftware, exec...

In this paper, flexure hinges as the main part of the actuators frame are studied considering different profiles of flexure hinges and effective design parameters to introduce the best profile of the hinge based on the application that is needed. For this purpose five different profiles (right circular, elliptical, corner-filleted, hyperbolic and parabolic) of flexure hinges have been considere...

In this paper we introduce the principles necessary to synthesize hybrid flexure systems and elements. Flexure systems consist of rigid bodies that are joined together by flexure elements that elastically deform to guide the system’s rigid bodies with desired degrees of freedom (DOFs). The principles introduced here for synthesizing hybrid flexure systems and elements are extensions of the Free...

The constraint-based design of flexure mechanisms requires a qualitative and quantitative understanding of the constraint characteristics of flexure elements that serve as constraints. This paper presents the constraint characterization of a uniform and symmetric cross-section, slender, spatial beam—a basic flexure element commonly used in threedimensional flexure mechanisms. The constraint cha...

This investigation examines the role of carboxyl functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (COOH-MWCNTs) in the on- and off-axis flexure and the shear responses of thin carbon woven fabric composite plates. The chemically functionalized COOH-MWCNTs were used to fabricate epoxy nanocomposites and, subsequently, carbon woven fabric plates to be tested on flexure and shear. In addition to the n...

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...

This paper presents the derivation of the kinetostatic model of a flexure-based 3-RRR compliant micro-motion stage. The kinetostatic model has closed-form equations and flexure hinge compliances are one of the variables in the model. Researchers have an option of selecting the most suitable flexure hinge compliance equations to calculate the kinetostatics of the stage. Two cases are studied whe...

Flexure parallel mechanism (FPM) possessing selective actuation (SA) feature can be used as a micropositioner. The design of SA FPMs consists of type synthesis of parallel mechanisms possessing the required number of degree of freedom (DOF), geometric arrangement of the structure to obtain the SA and conversion of the kinematic mechanism into the flexure mechanism. This paper focuses on the SA ...
