Elasto-Kinematics and Instantaneous Invariants of Compliant Mechanisms Based on Flexure Hinges
Micromachines, 2023 The kinematic synthesis of compliant mechanisms based on flexure hinges is not an easy task. A commonly used method is the equivalent rigid model, which involves replacing the flexure hinges with rigid bars connected with lumped hinges using the already ...

“The Critique of Anthropological Reason”: Indubitable Truth and Cuban Divination
Социология властиThis paper approaches the study of ‘apparently irrational beliefs' in anthropology. The author traces how the debate that emerged in the 1960s around Evans-Pritchard's work on Azande magic has developed in the context of the ontological turn.

DETERMINATION OF CONTACT STRESSES AND GAPS IN CHAIN TRANSMISSION HINGES
RUDN Journal of Engineering Research, 2018 The article considers the questions of determination of contact stresses in the chain transmission hinges that need to be known for assessing their wear resistance, because the wear and tear of hinges is the most common type of damage to the chain gears.

Hinged Dissections Exist [PDF]
Discrete & Computational Geometry, 2008 We prove that any finite collection of polygons of equal area has a common hinged dissection. That is, for any such collection of polygons there exists a chain of polygons hinged at vertices that can be folded in the plane continuously without self-intersection to form any polygon in the collection.

Analysis and design of symmetric notch flexure hinges
Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2017 This article presents the analytic models of four types of flexure hinges (elliptic, circular, parabolic, and hyperbolic flexure hinges). The analytic models are developed based on the theory of elasticity and infinitesimal method.
