Piezoelectric Actuators for Compliant Mechanisms. [PDF]
Materials (Basel)The growing demand for precision and miniaturization in micro-scale systems and biomedical applications has driven the need for highly optimized compliant mechanisms. The design of these mechatronic systems requires advanced actuators optimization, synchronizing material characteristics, geometric limitations, and mechanical structure.

Mechanisms of Compliant Shells
, 2019 Thin shells are three dimensional curved solids with a thickness that is small compared to the two other dimensions. For structural engineers, traditional rigid thin shells are some of the most efficient structural typologies. The curvature and continuity that characterizes them are the source of their high stiffness under loading.

Fully-compliant statically-balanced mechanisms without prestressing assembly: concepts and case studies [PDF]
Mechanical Sciences, 2011 The purpose of this paper is to present new concepts for designing fully-compliant statically-balanced mechanisms without prestressing assembly. A statically-balanced compliant mechanism can ideally provide zero stiffness and energy free motion like a ...

Compliant shell mechanisms [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2012 Abstract This paper describes a class of lightweight structures known as compliant shell mechanisms. These are novel reconfigurable solutions for advanced structures, such as morphing shells and deployable membranes. They have local, discrete corrugations, which articulate and deform to achieve dramatic changes in the overall shape of

Robust design of large-displacement compliant mechanisms [PDF]
Mechanical Sciences, 2011 The aim of this article is to introduce a new topology optimisation formulation for optimal robust design of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems. Mesh independence in topology optimisation is most often ensured by using filtering techniques, which result in

Spatio-Temporal Gradient Enhanced Surrogate Modeling Strategies
Mathematical and Computational Applications, 2023 This research compares the performance of space-time surrogate models (STSMs) and network surrogate models (NSMs). Specifically, when the system response varies over time (or pseudo-time), the surrogates must predict the system response.

Fully compliant spatial four-bar mechanism
Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2015 This paper presents a novel study on the analysis of the “fully compliant” spatial four-bar mechanism. To the best of our knowledge, any research on “fully compliant” spatial four-bar mechanism is not available in the literature.
