Elasto-Kinematics and Instantaneous Invariants of Compliant Mechanisms Based on Flexure Hinges

open access: yesMicromachines, 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 ...

Hybrid 3D Printing of Functional Smart Hinges

open access: yesMachines, 2023
Smart hinges fabricated using three-dimensional (3D) printing have been accepted in the aerospace, robotics, and biomedical fields since these devices possess a shape memory characteristic.

QCD recursion relations from the largest time equation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We show how by reassembling the tree level gluon Feynman diagrams in a convenient gauge, space-cone, we can explicitly derive the BCFW recursion relations. Moreover, the proof of the gluon recursion relations hinges on an identity in momentum space which

“The Critique of Anthropological Reason”: Indubitable Truth and Cuban Divination

open access: yesСоциология власти
This 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

open access: yesRUDN 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]

open access: yesDiscrete & 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

open access: yesAdvances 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.
