Dynamic engineering systems are playing an increasingly important role in society,
especially as active and autonomous dynamic systems become more mature and prevalent …

This paper explores the deflection and buckling of fixed-guided beams used in compliant
mechanisms. The paper's main contributions include the addition of an axial deflection …

There is still a demand for compact, portable, low-cost laboratory equipment for
undergraduate engineering students, since turn-key systems are expensive and require …

Take home lab equipment and hands-on learning tools are still in demand for control theory
and vibrations courses. The existing equipment are extremely expensive and require wide …

Two adjustable compliant mechanism load deflection test benches are presented in this
study. Both test bench mechanisms enable testing the deflection of flexible links or …

Students taking traditional undergraduate level engineering courses not only struggle with
highly complex concepts but also struggle in linking the physical meaning of the derived …

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 …

Özet Bu tezde literatürde analizi yapılmamış olan iki farklı esnek mekanizma tasarımı ve
kontrolü çalışması yapılmıştır. Mekanizmalardan ilki bekleme hareketi yapması istenen …

This work presents the modeling, design, and testing of an underwater microactuation
system. It is composed of several thermomechanical in-plane microactuators (TIM) …

A partially compliant four-bar mechanism consists of a rigid crank, a rigid coupler and a
flexible link (a rocker) is considered and its actuation by a magnetic force drive is …
