beam analysisThis paper presents a monolithic mechanically-bistable mechanism that does not rely on residual stress for its bistability. The typical implementation of this mechanism is two curved centrally-clamped parallel beams, hereafter referred to as "double curved beams". Modal analysis and finite...

A clamped root is used in Roccor’s COBRA system that utilises a curved HSC beam to support and roll out a solar array technology (Turse et al., 2019). Differently from the COBRA’s system, in which the beam is coiled around the clamped beam’s root, the DERCA-SAR technology ...
The beam constraint model has high potential in modeling the mechanical behavior of CPGs. In the scenario of micro tensile testing and gripping of soft objects, straight-line jaw motion may be desired [16]. In this investigation, a CPG integrated with a bistable mechanism (BM) is developed ...
On the other hand, the deployment mechanism adopted for this structure eliminates the need to integrate PIN diodes or any other electronic switch into the feeding network or the antenna itself. Our proposed passive bistable deployment technique offers more robustness, and a greater immunity to environ...
[18] using an energy-based model to examine design requirements for stable grasping of a circular object between curved distal phalanges. A simple gripper with two flexible beam fingers was considered in [19], where the effect of object size, joint stiffness, preload, and beam-curvature on ...
We have calculated the exact total strain energy of a curved bilayer and its two components: the strain energy due to the forces parallel and perpendicular to the interface. The strain energy of the forces perpendicular to the interface (splitting forces) has been proposed as the specific strain...
Each deformable element has a deformation mechanism and an optical portion, the deformation mechanism and the optical portion independently imparting to the element respectively a controlled deformation characteristic and a controlled modulation characteristic. The deformable modulation element may be a non-...
The method also includes closing an external water supply to the valve body, removing the manual handle and sealing a manual handle port, and removing an external cover above the valve body, wherein the external cover retained the flush valve mechanism. Then, the method includes attaching to ...
