Compliant mechanisms are state of the art in micropositioning stages due to their many
beneficial features. However, their design usually compromises between motion range …

Haptic controllers have an important role in providing rich and immersive Virtual Reality (VR)
experiences. While previous works have succeeded in creating handheld devices that …

Compliance and precision are two key aspects in designing flexure hinges for use in
compliant mechanisms. A generalized method with the finite-discrete idea and beam …

A discrete beam transfer matrix method is introduced to enhance the existing approaches for
the static and dynamic compliance solutions of curved-axis flexure hinges with variable …

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 …

Shape-morphing structures based on pressure actuation promise efficiency gains and
performance improvements in aeronautics, but require complex three-dimensional …

This paper presents the closed-form compliance equations of elliptic-revolute notch type
multiple-axis flexure hinges undergoing small displacement for three-dimensional …

Compliant mechanisms are state of the art in technical applications, especially in precision
engineering. They mostly achieve their motion due to bending-dominated deformation of …

The existing symmetrical microgrippers have larger output displacements compared with the
asymmetrical counterparts. However, the two jaws of a symmetrical microgripper are less …

Recent years have witnessed an ever-increasing research interest in experience-driven and
topology-optimization design of flexure hinges for use in compliant mechanisms. In this …
