Design strategies for large range flexure mechanisms


Flexure mechanisms (or elastic elements) use elastic deformation to achieve motion, which results in highly repeatable and lubricant-free systems. A drawback is their limited motion range due to design trade-offs between stress, dynamic/stiffness performance and build volume. In this talk, new strategies to increase this motion range will be presented, including movies of different demonstrators.

Speaker: Jelle Rommers (supervisors Volkert van der Wijk and Just L. Herder)

Affiliation: TU Delft

This lecture will start at: October 2 on 12:02pm (Teams digital and only for members of the DSPE)
