Mechanical and geometric advantages in compliant mechanism optimization

Michael Yu WANG

《机械工程前沿（英文）》 2009年第4卷第3期页码 229-241 doi: 10.1007/s11465-009-0066-1

摘要： This paper presents a focused examination of the mechanical and geometric advantages in compliant mechanisms and their ramifications in the design formulations of compliant mechanisms posed as a topology optimization problem. With a linear elastic structural analysis, we quantify mechanical (and geometric) advantage in terms of the stiffness elements of the mechanism's structure. We then analyze the common formulations of compliant mechanism optimization and the role of the external springs added in the formulations. It is shown that the common formulations using mechanical (or geometric) advantage would directly emulate at best a rigid-body linkage to the true optimum design. As a result, the topology optimization generates point flexures in the resulting optimal mechanisms. A case study is investigated to demonstrate the resulting trends in the current formulations.

Robust topology optimization of hinge-free compliant mechanisms with material uncertainties based on

Junjie ZHAN, Yangjun LUO

《机械工程前沿（英文）》 2019年第14卷第2期页码 201-212 doi: 10.1007/s11465-019-0529-y

摘要： This paper presents a new robust topology optimization framework for hinge-free compliant mechanisms with spatially varying material uncertainties, which are described using a non-probabilistic bounded field model. Bounded field uncertainties are efficiently represented by a reduced set of uncertain-but-bounded coefficients on the basis of the series expansion method. Robust topology optimization of compliant mechanisms is then defined to minimize the variation in output displacement under constraints of the mean displacement and predefined material volume. The nest optimization problem is solved using a gradient-based optimization algorithm. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for circumventing hinges in topology optimization of compliant mechanisms.

Analysis of frequency characteristics of compliant mechanisms

WANG Wenjing, YU Yueqing

《机械工程前沿（英文）》 2007年第2卷第3期页码 267-271 doi: 10.1007/s11465-007-0046-2

摘要： Much work is needed for a further study on the dynamic analysis of compliant mechanisms to improve their performance and operational accuracy. This paper uses the finite element method to develop a dynamic equation of the compliant mechanism. Natural frequencies and modes are derived. Using the differentials of a stiffness matrix to design parameters, a method for calculating the sensitivity of natural frequency is presented. The numerical simulation results indicate that the design parameters have an impact on the frequency characteristics of the compliant mechanisms and the proposed method is more accurate and convenient for analyzing frequency characteristics.

Conceptual design of compliant mechanisms using level set method

Shi-kui CHEN, Michael Yu WANG

《机械工程前沿（英文）》 2006年第1卷第2期页码 131-145 doi: 10.1007/s11465-006-0018-y

摘要： We propose a level set method-based framework for the conceptual design of compliant mechanisms. In this method, the compliant mechanism design problem is recast as an infinite dimensional optimization problem, where the design variable is the geometric shape of the compliant mechanism and the goal is to find a suitable shape in the admissible design space so that the objective functional can reach a minimum. The geometric shape of the compliant mechanism is represented as the zero level set of a one-higher dimensional level set function, and the dynamic variations of the shape are governed by the Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equation. The application of level set methods endows the optimization process with the particular quality that topological changes of the boundary, such as merging or splitting, can be handled in a natural fashion. By making a connection between the velocity field in the Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equation with the shape gradient of the objective functional, we go further to transform the optimization problem into that of finding a steady-state solution of the partial differential equation. Besides the above-mentioned methodological issues, some numerical examples together with prototypes are presented to validate the performance of the method.

Understanding coupled factors that affect the modelling accuracy of typical planar compliant mechanisms

Guangbo HAO,Haiyang LI,Suzen KEMALCAN,Guimin CHEN,Jingjun YU

《机械工程前沿（英文）》 2016年第11卷第2期页码 129-134 doi: 10.1007/s11465-016-0392-z

摘要：

In order to accurately model compliant mechanism utilizing plate flexures, qualitative planar stress (Young’s modulus) and planar strain (plate modulus) assumptions are not feasible. This paper investigates a quantitative equivalent modulus using nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) to reflect coupled factors in affecting the modelling accuracy of two typical distributed-compliance mechanisms. It has been shown that all parameters have influences on the equivalent modulus with different degrees; that the presence of large load-stiffening effect makes the equivalent modulus significantly deviate from the planar assumptions in two ideal scenarios; and that a plate modulus assumption is more reasonable for a very large out-of-plane thickness if the beam length is large.

Guangbo HAO,Haiyang LI,Xiuyun HE,Xianwen KONG

《机械工程前沿（英文）》 2014年第9卷第4期页码 331-343 doi: 10.1007/s11465-014-0321-y

摘要：

Compliant translational joints (CTJs) have been extensively used in precision engineering and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). There is an increasing need for designing higher-performance CTJs. This paper deals with the conceptual design of CTJs via three approaches: parallelogram based method, straight-line motion mechanism based method and combination based method. Typical emerging CTJ designs are reviewed by explaining their design principles and qualitatively analyzing their characteristics. New CTJs are proposed using three approaches, including an asymmetric double parallelogram mechanism with slaving mechanism, several compact and symmetric double parallelogram mechanisms with slaving mechanisms and a general CTJ using the center drift compensation and a CTJ using Roberts linkage and several combination designs. This paper provides an overview of the current advances/progresses of CTJ designs and lays the foundation for further optimization, quantitative analysis and characteristic comparisons.

Preload characteristics identification of the piezoelectric-actuated 1-DOF compliant nanopositioning

Ruizhou WANG, Xianmin ZHANG

《机械工程前沿（英文）》 2015年第10卷第1期页码 20-36 doi: 10.1007/s11465-015-0328-z

摘要：

Packaged piezoelectric ceramic actuators (PPCAs) and compliant mechanisms are attractive for nanopositioning and nanomanipulation due to their ultra-high precision. The way to create and keep a proper and steady connection between both ends of the PPCA and the compliant mechanism is an essential step to achieve such a high accuracy. The connection status affects the initial position of the terminal moving plate, the positioning accuracy and the dynamic performance of the nanopositioning platform, especially during a long-time or high-frequency positioning procedure. This paper presents a novel external preload mechanism and tests it in a 1-degree of freedom (1-DOF) compliant nanopositioning platform. The 1-DOF platform utilizes a parallelogram guiding mechanism and a parallelogram load mechanism to provide a more accurate actual input displacement and output displacement. The simulation results verify the proposed stiffness model and dynamic model of the platform. The values of the preload displacement, actual input displacement and output displacement can be measured by three capacitive sensors during the whole positioning procedure. The test results show the preload characteristics vary with different types or control modes of the PPCA. Some fitting formulas are derived to describe the preload displacement, actual input displacement and output displacement using the nominal elongation signal of the PPCA. With the identification of the preload characteristics, the actual and comprehensive output characteristics of the PPCA can be obtained by the strain gauge sensor (SGS) embedded in the PPCA.

Modeling of large-deflection links for compliant mechanisms

Zhonglei FENG, Yueqing YU, Wenjing WANG,

《机械工程前沿（英文）》 2010年第5卷第3期页码 294-301 doi: 10.1007/s11465-010-0019-8

摘要： The traditional pseudo-rigid-body model (PRBM) has one degree of freedom (DOF) and performs a good simulation to the tip locus of flexible links for compliant mechanisms on the basis of a parametric approximation method. In this study, a new approach of a two-DOF PRBM is proposed to simulate both the tip locus and tip deflection angle of large-deflection links for compliant mechanisms on the basis of the angular deflection approximation technique. A linear regression for the spring stiffness coefficient of the 2R PRBM using the optimization technique is presented. The advantage of the new model is well illustrated through a numerical comparison between the 1R and the 2R PRBM.

Untethered quadrupedal hopping and bounding on a trampoline

Boxing WANG, Chunlin ZHOU, Ziheng DUAN, Qichao ZHU, Jun WU, Rong XIONG

《机械工程前沿（英文）》 2020年第15卷第2期页码 181-192 doi: 10.1007/s11465-019-0559-5

摘要： For quadruped robots with springy legs, a successful jump usually requires both suitable elastic parts and well-designed control algorithms. However, these two problems are mutually restricted and hard to solve at the same time. In this study, we attempt to solve the problem of controller design with the help of a robot without any elastic mounted parts, in which the untethered robot is made to jump on a trampoline. The differences between jumping on hard surfaces with springy legs and jumping on springy surfaces with rigid legs are briefly discussed. An intuitive control law is proposed to balance foot contact forces; in this manner, excessive pitch oscillation during hopping or bounding can be avoided. Hopping height is controlled by tuning the time delay of the leg stretch. Together with other motion generators based on kinematic law, the robot can perform translational and rotational movements while hopping or bounding on the trampoline. Experiments are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control framework.

Manufacturing error analysis of compliant 3-DOF microrobot

CHAO Dai-hong, LIU Rong, WU Yue-min, SHI Long, ZONG Guang-hua

《机械工程前沿（英文）》 2006年第1卷第3期页码 299-304 doi: 10.1007/s11465-006-0030-2

摘要： In the fields of micro/nanopositioning application, error analysis is an effective way to enhance the precision of micromanipulators. Manufacturing imperfections, which are inevitable, are the most important factors influencing the accuracy. Therefore, various manufacturing imperfections were studied by taking a planar 3 degrees of freedom (3-DOF) flexure hinge based microrobot as a case. By formulating static stiffness of the robot, mapping between manufacturing imperfections and end-effector positioning accuracy was obtained. Using the theoretical calculation and finite element method (FEM), effects of various machining imperfection types on end-effector positioning accuracy were evaluated. The results showed that errors of the radium of the hinges and angular differences of the centerline of the hinges were dominant factors resulting in output errors. Conclusions drawn from the experiments can be used to instruct the design of compliant parallel mechanisms by distributing various manufacturing differences of configurable parameters to guarantee precision in the positioning of the end-effector within the required range; they may also be helpful while calibrating this kind of manipulator.

Mechatronic design of a novel linear compliant positioning stage with large travel range and high out-of-plane

Hua LIU, Xin XIE, Ruoyu TAN, Lianchao ZHANG, Dapeng FAN

《机械工程前沿（英文）》 2017年第12卷第2期页码 265-278 doi: 10.1007/s11465-017-0453-y

摘要：

Most of the XY positioning stages proposed in previous studies are mainly designed by considering only a single performance indicator of the stage. As a result, the other performance indicators are relatively weak. In this study, a 2-degree-of-freedom linear compliant positioning stage (LCPS) is developed by mechatronic design to balance the interacting performance indicators and realize the desired positioning stage. The key parameters and the coupling of the structure and actuators are completely considered in the design. The LCPS consists of four voice coil motors (VCMs), which are conformally designed for compactness, and six spatial leaf spring parallelograms. These parallelograms are serially connected for a large travel range and a high out-of-plane payload capacity. The mechatronic model is established by matrix structural analysis for structural modeling and by Kirchhoff’s law for the VCMs. The sensitivities of the key parameters are analyzed, and the design parameters are subsequently determined. The analytical model of the stage is confirmed by experiments. The stage has a travel range of 4.4 mm× 7.0 mm and a 0.16% area ratio of workspace to the outer dimension of the stage. The values of these performance indicators are greater than those of any existing stage reported in the literature. The closed-loop bandwidth is 9.5 Hz in both working directions. The stage can track a circular trajectory with a radius of 1.5 mm, with 40 mm error and a resolution of lower than 3 mm. The results of payload tests indicate that the stage has at least 20 kg out-of-plane payload capacity.

Gripping mechanisms in current wood harvesting machines

D. GOUBET, J. C. FAUROUX, G. GOGU

《机械工程前沿（英文）》 2013年第8卷第1期页码 42-61 doi: 10.1007/s11465-013-0358-3

摘要：

This paper focuses on the structural synthesis of gripping mechanisms used in the mechanization of the harvesting process. The importance of the gripping function in current devices like harvesting heads is underlined. This function is performed with several typical mechanisms which are listed and described in this article. This study distinguishes two kinds of planar gripping mechanisms mainly used in opening and closing the rollers: five concentric and two lateral ones. Both kinds have advantages and drawbacks. So a third kind of hybrid mechanism has been designed in order to orientate the axis of the rollers during gripping motion in order to combine concentric and lateral gripping advantages. Two planar and one spatial existing mechanisms are described. The last part of this paper presents a structural synthesis of such a spatial parallel mechanism by using the structural parameters and the general formulae established by the third author. Nine kinematic diagrams of spatial parallel mechanisms are provided.
