Previously, we reported the conceptual design of a novel parallel-kinematic flexure
mechanism that provides large and decoupled motions in the X, Y, and Z directions, along …

Flexible slender beams are commonly used in compliant mechanisms and continuum
robots. However, the modeling of these beams can be complicated due to the geometric …

This paper designs and analyses a class of single-axis translational flexure guiding
mechanisms for linear actuators. The proposed flexure mechanisms have symmetrical …

Abstract Design and optimization of flexure mechanisms and real time high bandwidth
control of flexure based mechanisms require efficient but accurate models. The flexures can …
