In this study, we present the design and development of a compliant multi-link hopping
mechanism actuated by a single DC motor. Mechanism consists of torsional spring, two …

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 …

This paper presents the informative process of modeling of compliant mechanisms using
MATLAB Simscape. Simscape is the modeling environment analyzing both rigid and flexible …

Abstract A Knuckle Boom Crane is a pedestal-mounted, slew-bearing crane with a joint in
the middle of the distal arm; ie boom. This distal boom articulates at the 'knuckle (ie …

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 …

Compliant mechanism and soft robotics designs are considered emerging technologies
since they tend to bend through their flexible bodies and accomplish advanced and …

Self-induced mechanical oscillation of nose landing gears designated as shimmy is a major
safety challenge for aircrafts. The rotational-lateral shimmy vibrations can occur during …

This study presents the design, analysis and modeling of a large deflecting compliant
swashplate mechanism that is actuated by rigid pitch links. Pitch links are actuated by high …
