An active structure is an engineering structure containing sensors and actuators that, when
active, modify the response of the structure to its environment. Research into active structural …

This study presents the design analysis and development of a novel partially compliant
bistable mechanism. Motion behavior dependence on links and relative angles are …

A partially compliant novel translational double dwell mechanism is presented in this article.
The designed mechanism consists of initially straight and preloaded pinned-pinned …

This study presents the design, analysis, dynamical modeling and control of a planar, flexure
based closed chain compliant mechanism. Mechanism is designed as a single piece and …

针对柔顺停歇机构的柔性构件在运动中产生的大变形, 大挠度等几何非线性行为,
采用伪刚体模型法来分析该类非线性大变形系统. 首先, 基于大挠度理论对大变形柔性梁进行 …

This paper investigates design, modeling and fabrication of a flexible five bar mechanism,
which incorporates large deflecting flexure hinges attached to rigid links. This 3D printed …

Savonius wind turbines are drag-type vertical axis wind turbines. Their blades experience
less drag while moving against the wind flow and more drag while moving in the wind …

The paper deals with the design of the two axes force and displacement sensor based on
electromagnetic (EM) sensing principle. This principle enables to detect displacements, or …

This paper investigates the construction, instrumentation, and dynamical modeling of a
coupled three degrees of freedom compliant parallel arm mechanism. The compliant …

Aiming at the large deformation, large deflection and other geometric nonlinear behaviors of
the flexible component of the compliant dwell mechanism in motion, the pseudo-rigid body …
