Multi-objective optimization of flexure hinge mechanism considering thermal–mechanical coupling deformation and natural frequency

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2017
Flexure hinge mechanism plays a key part in realization of terminal nano-positioning. The performance of flexure hinge mechanism is determined by its positioning design.

An Integrated Design and Simulation Environment for Rapid Prototyping of Laminate Robotic Mechanisms

open access: yes, 2018
Laminate mechanisms are a reliable concept in producing lowcost robots for educational and commercial purposes. These mechanisms are produced using low-cost manufacturing techniques which have improved significantly during recent years and are more ...

Micro Motion Amplifiers for Compact Out-of-Plane Actuation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Small-scale, out-of-plane actuators can enable tactile interfaces; however, achieving sufficient actuator force and displacement can require larger actuators.

Topologically optimised flexure hinge based XY stage

open access: yesSPIE Proceedings, 2017
The purpose of this study is to develop a millimeter scale two degree of freedom planar actuation mechanism (XY stage) with flexure hinges that can generate micrometer scale motion at high frequencies. To amplify the micro scale motion in X and Y directions, two identical levers are used.

Analysis of LEMs slider mechanisms based on equivalent coupling stiffness

open access: yes工程科学学报, 2016
The flexure hinge is the key part to implement the movement of lamina emergent mechanisms(LEMs). Designing a flexure hinge with good flexibility and high accuracy is always the key problem to research compliant mechanisms.

Design optimization of a flexure spring used in small-sized ultra-precise optical instrument

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
Small-sized ultra-precise optical devices require compact compliant ortho-planar springs (COPS) aka. flexure springs, for precise, frictionless linear motion which depends highly on the design. A self-developed arm-hinge-linked design, named “Panto-style”

Performance optimization of large stroke flexure hinges for high stiffness and eigenfrequency [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Two flexure hinge types are optimized for high support stiffness and high first unwanted eigenfrequency for two different working ranges, ±5.7° and ±20°. We show how multiple performance specifications lead to different designs with different performance.

Large Stroke Performance Optimization of Spatial Flexure Hinges [PDF]

open access: yesVolume 6: 1st Biennial International Conference on Dynamics for Design; 14th International Conference on Advanced Vehicle Technologies, 2012
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 (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.
