Abstract:

This research focuses on the fabrication of plastic flexure hinges from diverse plastics such as ABS, PP, HDPE, and LDPE. To enhance hinge efficiency, the recycling ratios are also investigated. The amplification ratio of different recycle ratios and plastic types are measured. The results show that the input and output displacements of all PP, ABS, and HDPE hinges are linear. The presence of recycled plastics has no impact on this basis. The pure PP, ABS, and HDPE flexure hinges achieve the highest amplification ratios of 5.728, 8.249, and 5.668. The addition of recycled plastics reduces the

Abstract:

To reduce fatigue failure of compliant mechanism, it is necessary to design and analyze the flexure hinge parametrically. A methodology to design a flexural hinges for compliant mechanism is proposed in this paper to improve fatigue life. Results obtained by finite element analysis shows that used design equations are reliable and easier to be used in the design of such proportion flexural hinges. The proposed analytical model gives a new viewpoint on the design of circular flexure hinge based compliant mechanisms. Circular flexural joint was manufactured by using Al 6061 T6 material and exper

Abstract:

Parasitic displacements of a guiding plate of a lumped compliant parallel-guiding mechanism are analyzed using the pseudo-rigid-body (PRB) approach. Small deformations of flexure hinges are assumed. Each flexure hinge of the compliant mechanism is modelled by the PRB model with 3-DOF (degrees of freedom). This model allows that axial deformation of the flexure hinge to be considered. The corresponding expressions in symbolic form for both translational and rotational parasitic displacements of the compliant mechanism are derived. The obtained expressions enable the analysis of the influence of

Flexure hinge is widely used in the compliant mechanisms for precision engineering. Generally, compliant mechanisms with flexure hinges are designed using the analytical stiffness formulas, which increases the design complexity. As the development of finite element analysis (FEA) and optimization methods, it is likely to design the flexure hinges directly using the FEA based numerical optimization methods. This paper developed a leaf spring type flexure hinge based micro-motion stage with specific stiffness constraints. Both topology and sizing optimization methods are used in the design of mo

ABSTRACTIntracellular protein folding is mediated by molecular chaperones, the best studied among which are the chaperonins GroEL and GroES. Conformational changes and allosteric transitions between different metastable states are hallmarks of the chaperonin mechanism.

Although hinges are known to be critical for mediating the communication between different domains of GroEL, the relative importance of hinges on GroEL oligomeric assembly, ATPase activity, conformational changes, and functiona

Abstract:

Abstract Misaligned wind turbine rotors experience uneven loads because of two effects: dissymmetry of lift, and skewed wake effect. Rotor-crafts that have a similar problem introduce various mechanisms to combat this — one of them is to add a δ3-hinge. The hinge provides the blade with an additional degree of freedom to relieve the unbalanced loads; in theory, it is a self-correcting mechanism. In this work, we couple a blade element momentum (BEM) approach for the aerodynamics to a rigid-body model that simulates the hinge rotation. The results from BEM are used to identify the working mecha

Unlike rigid-body mechanisms, compliant mechanisms (CMs) gain some or all of their motion from relative flexibility of their joints.

The stress at flexible pivot, the nonlinear-large deflection of flexure hinge, the relationship between displacement and force and/or torque, stress were taken into account in this work based on PRBM.

Origami-inspired design is an emerging field capable of producing compact and efficient designs. The object of a surrogate fold is to provide a fold-like motion in a non-paper material without undergoing yielding. Compliant mechanisms provide a means to achieve these objectives as large deflections are achieved. The purpose of this thesis is to present a summary of existing compliant joints suitable for use as surrogate folds. In doing so, motions are characterized which no existing compliant joint provides. A series of compliant joints is proposed which provides many of these motions. The pos

Protein structural information about ACE is an important key for the understanding of the mechanism and substrate-specificity of the enzyme.

This paper explores trade policy and investment linkages in the GTAP model. This is done under alternative steady-state closure rules linking trade to consumption, production, and investment, and emphasizing the general equilibrium nature of capital accumulation mechanisms. When policy shocks are capital friendly, induced investment may be greater than suggested by current savings rates. As a result, multiplier-type analysis can be very misleading. The importance and direction of this magnification hinges critically on the sensitivity of savings rates with respect to real returns. As illustrat

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE OF BUCKLING-RESTRAINED BRACE ON FRAMES WITH HIGH-STRENGTH CONCRETE-FILLED SQUARE STEEL TUBE COLUMNS. The Hong Kong Institute of Steel Construction, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.18057/ijasc.2023.19.3.9.

Abstract:

Using buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) in frames with high-strength concrete-filled square steel tube columns(HSCFSSTC) can solve issues such as brittle failure and low lateral stiffness. To investigate the mechanical performance of buckling-restrained brace frames(BRBFs), an experiment study was conducted. The investigation involved the design and analysis of a frame system composed of BRBs, HSCFSSTC and H-shaped steel beams. Sub-structures at a 1/3 scale with two types of connections, welded and pin connections, were subjected to pseudo-static tests. The influence of BRBF connection types o

RETROFIT EFFECT AND FLEXURAL CAPACITY OF H-SECTION BEAM- THROUGH BEAM-COLUMN CONNECTIONS FOR STEEL MODULAR FRAMES. The Hong Kong Institute of Steel Construction, 2025. https://doi.org/10.18057/ijasc.2025.21.2.4.

Abstract:

Beam-through steel beam-column configurations are distinct from traditional column-through steel structures because they discontinue columns at each floor by bolting upper and lower columns to floor beam flanges. It facilitates modular manufacturing and floor/modular erection, which provides more opportunities for low to mid-level steel structures. Compared to its constructability superiority, beam-through configurations typically create a weaker beam-column joint than traditional beam-column connections adopted in the current building codes. In a numerical approach, this study investigates th
