Piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs) promote the construction of a smarter world through
powering electric devices with energy scavenged from environmental vibrations by means of …

Stiffness in compliant mechanisms can be dramatically altered and even eliminated entirely
by using static balancing. This requires elastic energy to be inserted before operation, which …

The ability to convert reciprocating, ie, alternating, actuation into rotary motion using
linkages is hindered fundamentally by their poor torque transmission capability around …

This research demonstrates a miniaturized statically balanced compliant mechanism
(SBCM) at the micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) scale. The primary objective is to …

Bistable mechanisms are prevalent across a broad spectrum of applications due to their
ability to maintain two distinct stable states. Their energy consumption is predominantly …

The ability to convert reciprocating, ie, alternating, actuation into rotary motion using
linkages is hindered fundamentally by their poor torque transmission capability around …

The ability to convert reciprocating, ie, alternating, actuation into rotary motion using
linkages is hindered fundamentally by their poor torque transmission capability around …

Going beyond naturally occurring materials, Metamaterials exploit a design at the
microscale resulting in macroscopic behaviour, to achieve different or even new properties …
