This document presents a monolithic bistable mechanism that does not rely on residual stress. It consists of two curved beams clamped at the center.
Analytic and finite element modeling is used to predict and design the bistable behavior. The modeling shows that for a single curved beam to be bistable, its second buckling mode must be constrained. A double curved beam structure satisfies this requirement through mutual cancellation of twisting modes.
Microfabricated double curved beam tests match the analytic predictions well. The design allows tailoring of the bistable behavior without needing residual stress or complex structures.
The Effect of Arm Stiffness on the Elasto-Kinematic Properties of Single-Axle...theijes
The paper is focused on the stiffness analysis of the longitudinal arm of single-axle suspension on elastokinematic behaviour of the vehicle axle which is highly important when considering the handling characteristics related tovehicle safety.The elasto-kinematic behaviour of the axle determines the course of the geometrical parameters of wheel suspension, the toe angle and camber as the function of wheel movement during force loading. This paper presents the complex MBS (Multi-Body Simulation)model of the wheel suspension with nonlinear characteristics of rubber-metal bushings. The model also comprises force elements such as springs, shock absorbers, stops and the transverse stabilizer. The model of flexible arm is implemented in the MBS model using the Craig-Bampton method, which represents a flexible body based on the synthesis of its own modal shapes. Subsequently,elasto-kinematic simulations are performed with the help ofthe computational system Hyperwork. The computational part of the paper presents the results of the elasto-kinematic behaviour of wheel axle for the flexible arm with different sheet metal thicknesses (2, 3 and 4 mm) and different materials (steel and aluminium alloy AlSi7Mg). Individual calculation models are compared to each other and also to the model of suspension with therigidarm. Elasto-kinematic analyses are also validated by the measurement inthe testing stage.
This document presents a vibration analysis of a rotating composite beam using the dynamic stiffness matrix method. The dynamic stiffness matrix method, traditionally used for homogeneous beams, is applied to composite beams by determining the effective Young's modulus of the composite material. Natural frequencies of the rotating composite beam are calculated for different parameters like rotational speed, hub radius, and number of layers in the composite. Results show how the natural frequency is influenced by these various parameters. The dynamic stiffness matrix method is considered an advanced technique as it provides exact natural frequency and mode shape results without approximations.
Design and analysis of x y- positioning stage based on redundant parallel li...eSAT Journals
Abstract This paper presents the concept of a planar positioning stage based on a kinematically redundant parallel linkage. Basic kinematics and workspace analysis of base redundant manipulator is initially explained and the procedure of static analysis to predict the actuated joint torques is described. As there are six actuators in the linkage, the redundancy can be overcome by proper selection of the base joint variables. Also it is assumed that the motion is at a constant speed. A numerical example is shown with a straight line trajectory to illustrate the workspace and joint force calculation aspects of this linkage. The possible arrangement of the stage with electrostatic actuation and sensing are finally highlighted. Keywords: Kinematic redundancy, Parallel mechanism, Static analysis, and Workspace characteristics
This document describes the design and analysis of a planar positioning stage based on a redundantly actuated parallel linkage. The positioning stage has three degrees of freedom (x-y-θ) and uses a 3-PRPR linkage with six actuators. The document analyzes the kinematics and workspace of the linkage. It describes the procedure for static analysis to calculate the actuated joint torques. The positioning stage could enable high-precision motion with a compact design and improved stiffness compared to serial linkages. It is proposed for potential use in micro-scale applications.
This document describes the design and analysis of a planar positioning stage based on a redundantly actuated parallel linkage with six degrees of freedom (three translations and three rotations). The kinematics and workspace analysis of the linkage are presented. A static analysis method to calculate the actuator torques required for a given end-effector force and trajectory is also described. MATLAB programs were developed to analyze the workspace and perform the static analysis. The results show that the redundant actuation can help improve the workspace characteristics and prevent singular configurations compared to non-redundant parallel manipulators. The stage design has potential applications in micro-positioning.

Buckling analysis of line continuum with new matrices of stiffness and geometryeSAT Journals
Abstract This research work present buckling analysis of line continuum with new matrices of elastic stiffness and geometric stiffness. The stiffness matrices were developed using energy variational principle. Two deformable nodes were considered at the centre and at the two ends of the continuum which brings the number of deformable node to six. The six term Taylor McLaurin’s shape function was substituted into strain energy equation and the result functional was minimized, resulting in a 6 x 6 stiffness matrix used herein. The six term shape function is also substituted into the geometric work equation and minimized to obtain 6 x 6 geometric stiffness matrix for buckling analysis. The two matrices were employed, as well as traditional 4 x 4 matrices in classical buckling analysis of four line continua. The results from the new 6 x 6 matrices of stiffness and geometry were very close to exact results, with average percentage difference of 2.33% from exact result. Whereas those from the traditional 4 x 4 matrices and 5 x 5 matrices differed from exact results, with average percentage difference of 23.73% and 2.55% respectively. Thus the newly developed 6 x 6 matrices of stiffness and geometry are suitable for classical buckling analysis of line continuum.

Wear Analysis on Cylindrical Cam with Flexible RodIJRES Journal
Firstly, the kinetic equation of spatial cylindrical cam with flexible rod has been established. Then, an
accurate cylindrical cam mechanism model has been established based on the spatial modeling software
Solidworks. The dynamic effect of flexible rod on mechanical system was studied in detail based on the
mechanical system dynamics analytical software Adams, and Archard wear model is used to predict the wear of
the cam. We used Ansys to create finite element model of the cam link, extracted the first five order mode to
export into Adams. The simulation results show that the dynamic characteristics of spatial cylindrical cam
mechanical system with flexible rod is closed to ideal mechanism. During the cam rotate one cycle, the collision
in the linkage with a clearance occurs in some special location, others still keep a continuous contact, and the
prediction of wear loss is smaller than rigid body.
This document summarizes research on the buckling failure of compressed cellular steel members. Cellular members have large circular openings in their web which makes them more efficient in material use than plain members, but also alters their failure behavior when loaded axially and in bending. Through finite element analysis of various geometries, the authors developed a design approach to calculate the ultimate failure load based on the member's weak-axis flexural buckling capacity. Preliminary results found the approach provides acceptable but conservative estimates of failure load compared to simulations. Further study of residual stresses is still needed to fully validate the design approach.

2D Shape Reconstruction Based on Combined Skeleton-Boundary FeaturesCSCJournals
This paper proposes a new method for 2D shape reconstruction based on combining skeleton and boundary features. The method aims to mimic human perceptual processes by using both curvature properties of the shape boundary and structural properties of the shape skeleton. Junction points on the skeleton are used to identify likely protrusions, while boundary features like curvature, length and width are used to determine the strength of protrusions. Experiments show the reconstructed shapes match human perceptual judgments better than existing methods. The approach gives a stable reconstruction and is robust to noise.
Nonlinear Viscoelastic Analysis of Laminated Composite Plates – A Multi Scale...rtme
Laminated composite plates are widely used in modern structures. Resins of composites are almost made of
polymers which show time dependent and and in some cases stress dependent behaviour. In this paper, a
laminated composite plate is analysed using a multiscale method. At first, material properties of a lamina is
obtained using an analytical micromechanical approach called simplified unit cell method (SUCM) and
then in macromechanical level, Generalized Differential Quadrature Method (GDQM) is used to analyse
laminated composite plate. Schapery's integral is used to model nonlinear viscoelastic behaviour of the
matrix. Prony series is considered to define the compliance of matrix. Micromechanical process includes
obtaining overall properties of the composite by SUCM. Both geometrical and material nonlinearity are
taken into account in order to multiscale analysis of laminated composite plate.

An efficient optimization method using PSO for synchronizing torque coefficients Ksand damping torque coefficients Kd to identify the angle stability condition on multi-machine system. In order to accelerate the determination of angle stability, PSO is proposed to be implemented in this study. The application of the proposed algorithm has been justified as the most accurate with lower computation time as compared to other optimization techniques such as Evolutionary Programming (EP) and Artificial Immune System (AIS). Validation with respect to eigenvalues determination, Least Square (LS) method and minimum damping ratio ξmin confirmed that the proposed technique is feasible to solve the angle stability problems.

This document discusses the pathogenesis and diagnosis of schizophrenia from the perspective of mitochondrial dysfunction and nonlinear dynamics analysis. It summarizes that:
1) Schizophrenia is thought to result from an interplay between genetic and environmental factors that disrupt brain development, and recent research implicates mitochondrial dysfunction caused by disruption of multiple genes.
2) Studies using nonlinear dynamics analysis of EEG signals and other data have found reduced complexity and more linear/regular rhythms in schizophrenia patients compared to controls, indicating lower chaotic dynamics.
3) Quantum biophysical semeiotics clinical evaluation techniques can detect an inherited real risk of schizophrenia even in asymptomatic individuals by examining microvascular function and complexity of oscillations. This allows for early pre-clinical diagnosis

Research on the rigidity of a three-pulley, two-universe (PUU)

Abstract
In this paper, we characterize the rigidity of a 3-PUU translational parallel kinematic machine (PKM). A distinct method is used to build the
stiffness matrix for actuators, constraints, and leg compliance. Extreme levels of stiffness are used to assess the performance of rigidity
manipulators and the implications they have on the design process.The rigidity of the 3-PUU PKM was intentionally built into its structure,
which is a brilliant move. An eigenscrew decomposition of the PKM's stiffness matrix allows for the determination of the PKM's stiffness
center and compliant axis, thereby offering a physical interpretation of PKM stiffness.The kinematics and mechanical rigidity of parallel
manipulators
Introduction
Parallel manipulators' rising popularity [1] may be attributed to their many applications. The inherent benefits of
parallel mechanisms, as well as the additional benefits in terms of manufacturing and operating costs, have led to the
widespread adoption of parallel manipulators with less than six DOF in a variety of applications. The strength of
parallel mechanisms is proportional to the cutting speed and effector accuracy at the end. It is important to measure
the stiffness of a parallel kinematic machine (PKM) as early in the design process as feasible. Before the discovery
of the 3-PUU mechanism, the concept of parallel translation was explored and studied [5, 6]. Although actuators and
legs each have their own degree of compliance, very little study has been devoted to the total stiffness of the system.
PKM in motion is investigated since the 3-PUU PKM stiffness model proposed for this study affects the structure's
dynamics.

Section 1.1 discusses stiffness
modelling.
When a stiff body is supported by elastic elements,
the relationship between force and deflection is linear
[7], as described by a symmetrical 6x6 positive
semidefinite matrix. An external static wrench is
linked to a parallel manipulator's end-vector effector
of compliant deformations through a 6x6 stiffness
matrix. It is possible to use the flexibility of the
individual compliant segments of six-leg parallel 6-
DOF manipulators to create a simple stiffness model.
Stiffness maps for two-DOF manipulators are time-
consuming to generate. It is possible to simulate the
stability of a PKM mounted on a tripod using
computational labor [10]. Using the kinematic and
static properties of all three legs, a parallel
manipulator model of CaPaMan was developed in
[11].
The current methods are insufficient to explain the
rigidity of manipulators with less DOF. Previously, it
has been recommended to use an overall Jacobian to
build the stiffness matrix of a parallel manipulator
[12]. A less-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) parallel
manipulator's stiffness and actuation constraints may
be summarized in its 6 x 6 matrix, as proposed in this
study.
Stiffness assessment,
The workspace layout and the direction in which
wrenches are applied establish the PKM's stiffness
for a given anisotropic setup. The evaluation of
whether or not the design satisfies stiffness criteria,
or even performs as well as an ideal design, requires
the construction and prediction of an object stiffness
model. its The stiffness behavior of a PKM has to be
studied in a number of contexts. The scientific
community has established and widely used a battery
of performance indicators for measuring material
stiffness. Strength may be measured with the use of
stiffness matrices [8,10].
To further evaluate stiffness, one may look at the
eigenvalue of the stiffness matrix for the relevant
eigenvector [8,13]. Stiffness matrices with both small
and large Eigenvalues have been shown to have a
rigidity limit. [14] The ratio of the biggest eigenvalue
to the lowest eigenvalue of the stiffness matrix may
be utilized as a predictor of stiffness values. The
determinant of the stiffness matrix is the product of
its eigenvalues, which is only one approach to assess
it. By dividing the workspace volume by the stiffness
matrix [15], one may get the stiffness of a 3-dof
spherical parallel manipulator.
Off-diagonal components of the standard stiffness
matrix prevent the stiffness attribute from being
precisely defined in any direction. The low stiffness
of the manipulator prevents its usage in applications,
but the determinant or trace values are high since the
trace cannot tell the two apart.
Even though the condition number indicates that the
stiffness matrix has been improperly prepared for
consistent manipulation, a machine tool's workspace
must have a minimum stiffness level. This article use
minimum and maximum stiffness values and their
variants since they are employed in evaluating
performance.

To learn about a PKM's spatial compliance, a
stiffness model is required. Spacetime elastic
behavior may have a physical basis if the stiffness
matrix is decomposed into its eigenscrews. If the
stiffness center and the compliant axis are present,
[18] this interpretation may be made physically.
When specifying a stiffness matrix, it is possible to
extend the RCC (remote centre of compliance) idea
to include off-diagonal blocks diagonalized at the
center of stiffness. Even though a generic stiffness
matrix's normal form is not diagonal, it is still
feasible to isolate rotation and translation. In robotics,
it serves as both a torsion and linear spring. When
applied to the axis of a compliant system, linear and
rotational deformation are parallel. This is always the
case, regardless of how rigorous the system is.
In Section 2, we provide 3-PUU PKM, and in Section
3, we detail a new method for calculating the
stiffness matrix. Shock indices, which are mentioned
in Section 4, may be used to forecast the durability of
a product's construction. The discussion is concluded
in the fifth section.
Kinematic description
Figure 1 depicts the CAD model of a 3-PUU PKM,
whereas Figure 2 shows the schematic design. A
movable platform, a stationary base, and three arms
with the same kinematic framework make up the
manipulator. Lead screw linear actuators are used to
drive (U) joints sequentially. Because each U joint is
made up of two revolute (R) joints that meet at an
angle, each limb may move like a Chain of motion
PRRRR. Only translational movements can be
achieved using a 3-PUU mechanism.
Fig. 2. Schematic representation of a 3-PUU PKM.
For each chain, the initial and last revolute joints are
parallel, and the two intermediate joint axes are also
parallel. Figure 2 shows the fixed Cartesian reference
frame (Ox,y,z) we'll be using for this inquiry. The
permanent base of the platform and the movable

angles to each other PBi "I 1; 2; 3" is a novel way of
putting it. Angle h, therefore, is the angle formed by a
moving platform and a stationary base. On one of its
three tracks, AiM crosses across. The x–y plane has
three points where circles of the same radius
intersect: A1, A2, and A3, as well as M, where a third
circle of the same radius crosses. Circles B1, B2, and
B3 are the intersection locations of the three legs

As a result of this data, the 3-PUU PKM's workspace

Jacobian matrix derivation
The Jacobian matrix of a parallel manipulator may be
derived using reciprocal screw theory [12]. The
mobile platform's twist may be described as T 14

A unit screw (in Plu cker coordinates) is connected

The mobile platform's 3-DOF mobility is restricted

Stiffness modelling is discussed
in section
Three constraint couples are exerted on the movable
platform by the wrench system that is the reciprocal
screw system with infinite pitch and by the reciprocal
screw system with zero pitch. Three forces are
applied to the movable platform via the screw system
of actuation. the limbs. In other words, each leg is
subjected to one and a half times its own weight in a
certain direction. Considering the premise Infinite
rigidity of the U joints and mobile platform and the
compliance of actuators and legs are the only
constraints may be deduced in this manner.
Control of actuators affects
compliance
To move a lead screw, the torque must be transmitted
between the ith nut and the linear displacement may
be estimated as a function of time
Assume that lc is the friction coefficient of the ith
actuator, si is its torsional stiffness, and ds is its pitch
diameter. According to Eq. (12), one can calculate
the linear driving device's compliance:
As a result, the projection of compliance in the
corresponding leg's direction may be deduced as a
function of the it actuator.

Legs-based compliance
Transverse compliance is equal to the ith leg's Ckl;i,
whereas longitudinal compliance is the same. There
is an elastic deformation of the ith leg because of a
constraint force Fki and a constraint couple Mri
perpendicular to the limb's universal joint. This
means that the elastic deformations may be
represented as follows:
There are two legs, each with a length of l and a
cross-sectional area of A, and each leg has a modulus
of elasticity E and G, respectively. Eqs. (15) and (16)
may then be used to generate Ckl I and Ck h;i.
The stiffness model
Constraints' and actuators' stiffnesses may be
calculated using the inverse connection between
stiffness and compliance
Consider that three linear springs are used to link the
movable platform to the stationary base, and three
rotating springs are used as well, as shown in Fig.
Stiffness matrix determination
Suppose an external wrench w 14 12fT is applied to
the movable platform in the form of the Plu cker ray
coordinate, where force is denoted by the notation F
14 12fx, torque is denoted by the notation M 12mx,
and so on. The response forces/torques of the
actuators and restraints, respectively, may be
represented by the sa and sc symbols. Reaction
forces/torques exerted by actuators and restraints, i.e.,
the external wrench is balanced in the absence of
gravity
the matrices are va 14 diag1–2Ka;1; Ka;2–3 and vc,
respectively, which represent the displacements of
actuations and restrictions, respectively, in the form
of Dqa and Dqc. It is also possible to calculate the
displacements of translation and rotation of the
movable platform with respect to the three reference
axes by using the formula: dx 14 12Dx Dy DzT ; dh
14 12Dhx Dhy DhzT. Then, by ignoring the
gravitational impact, the formation of virtual labour

overall workspace's global dexterity index and the
space utility ratio index, which measures the
workspace's volume in relation to the robot's physical
size [6]. In addition, the U joints' cone angle
restrictions are 20, and the P joints' motion range
limits are D0.1 m. The manipulator's accessible
workspace is constructed as illustrated in Fig. 4 using
a numerical search approach described in [19].
Moreover, Table 2 details the design's physical
properties (3-PUU PKM). Di 14 0 -i 14 1; 2; 3 is the
home position of the mobile platform in the case of
mid-stroke linear actuators, in which the stiffness
matrix is derived as follows:
Words N/m are used in this context to describe the
phrases K0 11g; K113g; and N/rad to describe the
phrases N/mg; K015g; and N/mg. PKM's movable
platform may be utilised to calculate the DX's
compliant displacement in light of Equation (21). As
seen in FIG. 6, the platform moves at a constant
speed while being exposed to a static external force
of 20 N. It was found that the linear compliant
displacement along the x-axis was 1.4 mm, as
predicted. In addition to this, the y-axis rotation is the
most rotary-compliant displacement of them all.
Stiffness assessment
Manipulation of PKM requires a more rigid
workspace than some fixed limit. By applying
classical eigenvalue decomposition, one may get an
overview of the stiffness levels in the workspace by
finding the smallest and largest stiffness eigenvalues.
Quantitative analysis was performed on the overall
stiffness of the PKM workspace. Essential steps in
this method include dividing the volume V in
cartesian coordinates and evaluating the various
portions to see whether they belong in the workspace.
The accuracy requirements for sample size may be
found here. Verification is achieved making use of
mechanical joint motion constraints and inverse
kinematic solutions. The elements of a stiffness
matrix that are contained inside a certain workspace

may be found by decomposing the matrix. The
minimum and maximum stiffness values for the
workspace are determined by comparing the values at
the lowest and highest points for each sample. The
ease with which it may be implemented in code has
led to its widespread adoption. [20] It's possible that a
computer round-off analysis technique may be useful
for designing a Gough-type parallel manipulator.
Moreover, it may be used to generate and evaluate
two 3-degrees-of-freedom PKMs [3].
The stiffness at z = 0.242 m (the height at which the
home position is maintained) is shown in Figure 7.
Three P joints, each with 120 degrees of x-y rotation,
are visible in the viewing area. As a manipulator
approaches the edge of the working area, both its
minimum and maximum stiffness increase. The
PKM's weak stiffness qualities become apparent
when it is placed beyond the feasible workspace.
Leaving it as it is makes the most sense. The PKM
activities and metrics serve as the basis for defining
this subworkspace. The platform's home position is
specified as the center of a cubical work area with a
0.01 m edge length. Adjusting the kinematic
parameters allows for the study of stiffness. The
rigidity of this working area may be measured down
to a diameter of 0.002 mm. Consistent with the 3-
PUU PKM's design specifications, a little amount of
variation in stiffness is seen in Figs. 8a-d.

It's important to think about how stiff the manipulator
is. Minimum stiffness seems to be greatest between 0
and 35 degrees, while maximum stiffness appears to
be least around 60 degrees, both relative to 90
degrees. As the moveable platform size increases
from 0.25 meters to 0.50 meters, the minimum and
maximum stiffness values both decrease for h 14 0
twist angles, whereas the maximum stiffness
increases. The minimum and maximum stiffness
values for these twist angles are the lowest possible.
Figure 8 shows the manipulator's stiffness at various
positions. This diagram shows that the maximum and
minimum stiffness requirements for agility and
productivity in the workplace are not reached. The
efficiency with which the PKM's architectural
optimization is serving machine tool tasks may be
analyzed using stiffness indices, which vary with the
tasks at hand.
Stiffness interpretation via
eigenscrew decomposition
To discover out how stiff the structure is, we'll do an
eigenscrew matrix decomposition. Twists are
represented in the axis coordinate system, while
wrenches are represented in the ray coordinate
system. If you want to acquire useful results from the
stiffness matrix eigenscrew problem, you must
construct it consistently. Some scenarios necessitate
the usage of ray or axis screw-based coordinates. It
also insures that the results are not depending on the
coordinate frame and that the units are preserved as
they should be. The results won't hold up without this
step, so it's of no practical relevance. The bD matrix
may be used to transition between two separate kinds
of coordinate systems.
In terms of relevance, the number 2 is important.
Therefore, the spring constant k, the helical joint
pitch p, and the geometrical connection parameters n
and r define the spring properties of each screw
spring. No doubt, the first two springs are
perpendicular to one another and in the same plane as
one another, while the last four are perpendicular to
one another and in the "z-plane. " The centre of
stiffness, where rotations and translations may be
decoupled to the maximum degree feasible, is
represented by six springs linked at a single point.
Compliant axis determination
[18] In order to produce a compliant axis, the linear
deformation must be parallel to the rotational
deformation surrounding it. Only a compliant axis
can address the eigenscrew issue. There must be two
collinear screws with equal stiffness and opposing
signs in order for a compliant shaft to operate. The
two collinear eigenscrews define the compliant axis.

Conclusions
Jacobian global effects of actuation and limitation are
taken into consideration thanks to the use of the
reciprocal screw theory in its construction. The
stiffness of the manipulator is also modeled,
including the actuators and the legs. Using the least
and greatest eigenvalues of the stiffness matrix in a
cubic form, the PKM stiffness may be evaluated. In
this study, we discuss how the stiffness of a
building's 3-PUU PKM is affected by design choices.
The best method for understanding the PKM's
malleable behavior is to deconstruct the stiffness
matrix using eigenscrews. The stiffness of a body
may be measured by suspending it from a series of
screw springs. With the PKM, the stiffness along the
z-axis is increased since the rigidity center and
compliant axis are always oriented in the same
direction. The physical interpretation of PKM
stiffness, the measurement of PKM stiffness using
architectural characteristics, and the modeling of 3-
PUU PKM stiffness have all advanced significantly.
The given analytic methods may be used to mimic
other types of parallel manipulators. The 3-PUU
PKM's stiffness characteristics may serve as a
benchmark for future building designs. After the
PKM is built and fabricated, experimental validation
of the stiffness studies is necessary.
