C-shells: Deployable Gridshells with Curved Beams

Mark Pauly, Francis Julian Panetta, Seiichi Eduardo Suzuki Erazo, Quentin Christian Becker, Yingying Ren, Davide Pellis

We introduce a computational pipeline for simulating and designing C-shells, a new class of planar-to-spatial deployable linkage structures. A C-shell is composed of curved flexible beams connected at rotational joints that can be assembled in a stress-fre ...

Rectilinear translation four-bar flexure mechanism based on four Remote Center Compliance pivots

Simon Nessim Henein, Charles Baur, Loïc Benoît Tissot-Daguette, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans, Quentin Gubler

This paper presents a novel planar four-bar linkage compliant mechanism (called 4-RCC) based on four flexure-based Remote Center of Compliance (RCC) pivots. With particular configurations and dimensions, the beam shortening of the RCC pivots can compensate ...

Statically and dynamically balanced oscillator based on Watt's linkage

Simon Nessim Henein, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans, Ilan Vardi

We present a new mechanical oscillator architecture that can be made insensitive to linear and angular accelerations while keeping constant oscillation frequency. The oscillator has the kinematics of a Watt linkage, so we call it a Watt oscillator. In orde ...

Soft pneumatic actuator-driven origami-inspired modular robotic ‘‘pneumagami’’

Jamie Paik, Matthew Aaron Robertson, Özdemir Can Kara

This article presents a new modular robotic platform for enabling reconfigurable, actively controlled, high-degree-of-freedom (high-DoF) systems with compact form factor. The robotic modules exploit the advantages of origami-inspired construction methods a ...

A plane linkage and its tessellation for deployable structure

Huijuan Feng

Deployable structures are widely used in space applications such as solar arrays and antennas. Recently, inspired by origami, more deployable structures have been developed. This paper outlined a novel design scheme for deployable structures by taking a pl ...

The Art of Flexure Mechanism Design

Simon Nessim Henein, Florent Cosandier, Lennart Rubbert, Murielle Richard

Flexure mechanism design is an art, and this book provides the theoretical and practical foundation for scientists and engineers to express their creativity in this field. Flexure mechanisms, also known as compliant mechanisms, rely on the elasticity of ma ...

The isostatic 3-body problem: a complete solution

Simon Nessim Henein, Florent Cosandier, Ilan Vardi, François Barrot, Johannes Richard Cornelis Geerit Kruis

Kinematic couplings are used when two rigid bodies need to be repeatedly and accurately positioned with respect to each other. They allow for sub-micron positioning repeatability by suppressing play and reducing strains in the bodies. Typical applications ...
