Theoretical Stiffness Modeling and Application Research of a Novel Stacked Flexure Hinge

open access: yesAerospace, 2023
This study investigates and designs a novel stacked hinge with low stiffness, large rotation angle, high strength, and length-adaptive functionality. Firstly, based on the large deformation theory of cantilever beams and relevant theories of leaf springs,

Modelling and Analysis of the Spital Branched Flexure-Hinge Adjustable-Stiffness Continuum Robot

open access: yesRobotics, 2022
Continuum robots are increasingly being used in industrial and medical applications due to their high number of degrees of freedom (DoF), large workspace and their ability to operate dexterously. However, the positional accuracy of conventional continuum

Multi-objective optimization of a type of ellipse-parabola shaped superelastic flexure hinge [PDF]

open access: yesMechanical Sciences, 2016
Flexure hinges made of superelastic materials is a promising candidate to enhance the movability of compliant mechanisms. In this paper, we focus on the multi-objective optimization of a type of ellipse-parabola shaped superelastic flexure hinge.

Optimization for a Flexure Hinge Using an Effective Hybrid Approach of Fuzzy Logic and Moth-Flame Optimization Algorithm

open access: yesMathematical Problems in Engineering, 2021
Flexure hinge is a critical element in a positioner of a nanoindentation tester. To effectively work, a suitable flexure hinge should simultaneously meet multiple objectives, including rotation axis shift, safety factor, and angular deflection.

Measurement uncertainty analysis of a measurement flexure hinge in a torque standard machine

open access: yesJournal of Sensors and Sensor Systems, 2022
. An alternative method to using strain gauges to measure FT (please see Appendix A for a list of definitions) and TM under a static multi-component load by using a hinge flexure (also called measurement flexure or MF) is presented. Its usage in the 5 MN

Design and Analysis of Power-function-sine Flexure Hinges

open access: yesJixie chuandong, 2023
In this study, a new type of power-function-sine flexure hinge is proposed. The calculation formula of compliance and rotation accuracy of the flexure hinge is derived by using Castigliano's second theorem.

Analytical modeling of reinforced concrete columns subjected to bidirectional shear [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Under general seismic loading, reinforced concrete columns may be subjected to lateral loads in more than one direction. Available experimental data on columns subjected to bidirectional forces indicate that higher levels of damage and a higher loss of ...
