Modeling and Optimization for a New Compliant 2-dof Stage for Locating Biomaterial Samples by an Efficient Approach of a Kinetostatic Analysis-Based Method and Neural Network Algorithm. [PDF]
The nanoindentation technique is employed to characterize the behaviors of biomaterials. Nevertheless, there is a lack of development of a miniaturized precise positioner for in situ nanoindentation. Besides, modeling behaviors of the positioner are restricted due to its complex kinematic characteristics.

Dimensional Synthesis of a Novel 3-URU Translational Manipulator Implemented through a Novel Method
A dimensional synthesis of parallel manipulators (PMs) consists of determining the values of the geometric parameters that affect the platform motion so that a useful workspace with assigned sizes can be suitably located in a free-from-singularity region

Abstract A new family of 3T1R parallel manipulators (PMs) with self‐aligning property, named TetraFLEX, is presented. 3T1R manipulators have many applications in different fields. Moreover, self‐aligning property refers to the presence of passive joints in the PM limbs that are conceived to compensate for possible misalignments between the sliding ...
