Design and Modeling of a Curved Beam Compliant Mechanism with Six Degrees of Freedom

Sheng Lin et al.

Summary: Compliant mechanisms are widely used in various cutting-edge scientific and technological fields. This study proposes a compliant mechanism with six degrees of freedom based on curved beams, which has the advantages of a simple structure and multi-degree-of-freedom. A model of the mechanism is constructed using the isogeometric analysis method, and static analysis shows the generation of six degrees of freedom. A prototype is developed using 3D printing, and a loading test in six degrees of freedom is carried out, showing high linear relations between output and input and low inter-directional coupling of the structure.

The compliant centrifugal pendulum as the vibration absorber with second-order elasto-kinematic approximation

Pier Paolo Valentini et al.

Summary: The study discusses a methodology for designing compliant centrifugal dampers based on the arrangement of a collection of leaf flexure hinges connecting peripheral masses. The design is based on the equations of motion written under the approximation of an equivalent pseudo-rigid assembly. To preserve accuracy, the pseudo-rigid surrogate model is deduced taking into account second-order kinematic invariants and Euler-Savary equations, providing second-order approximation of the relative motion.

Non-linear analytical modeling of planar compliant mechanisms

Stefan Henning et al.

Summary: Compliant mechanisms achieve motion through bending-dominated deformation of compliant segments, making accurate analysis dependent on specific flexure hinges challenging. This paper introduces a non-linear analytical approach to calculate the elasto-kinematic properties of planar compliant mechanisms, and uses MATLAB and FEM for validation. The proposed method allows for accurate and fast analysis and synthesis of diverse planar compliant mechanisms with distributed or concentrated compliance.
