    • A Closed-Form Dynamic Model of the Compliant Constant-Force Mechanism Using the Pseudo-Rigid-Body Model

    • Boyle, Cameron 1974-

    • A mathematical dynamic model is derived for the compliant constant-force mechanism, based on the pseudo-rigid-body model simplification of the device. The compliant constant-force mechanism is a slider mechanism incorporating large-deflection...

    • A Compliant Threshold Acceleration Sensor Integrated with Radio Frequency Identifiable Tags

    • Todd, Benjamin L 1978-

    • Fully compliant bistable mechanisms have been proposed to be used as threshold accelerometers. The advantages to using these devices are that they require no external power to operate and maintain their sensing state. Using this characteristic the...

    • A Design Framework that Employs a Classification Scheme and Library for Compliant Mechanism Design

    • Olsen, Brian Mark 1983-

    • Limited resources are currently available to assist engineers in implementing compliant members into mechanical designs. As a result, engineers often have little to no direction incorporating compliant mechanisms. This thesis develops a conceptual...

    • A Hybrid Bishop-Hill Model for Microstructure Sensitive Design

    • Takahashi, Ribeka

    • A method is presented for adapting the classical Bishop-Hill model to the requirements of elastic/yield-limited design in metals of arbitrary crystallographic texture. The proposed Hybrid Bishop-Hill (HBH) model, which will be applied to ductile...

    • Achieving Complex Motion with Fundamental Components for Lamina Emergent Mechanisms

    • Winder, Brian Geoffrey 1979-

    • Designing mechanical products in a competitive environment can present unique challenges, and designers constantly search for innovative ways to increase efficiency. One way to save space and reduce cost is to use ortho-planar compliant mechanisms...

    • An Approach to Concept Development for Compliant Mechanisms Possessing High Coefficients of Restitution

    • Woolley, Brandon H 1975-

    • The design of structures and mechanisms subject to impact loading has historically involved designing in such a way as to minimize damage induced by the impact. This has historically been accomplished by absorbing and dissipating the energy of the...

    • An Investigation of Compliant Over-running Ratchet and Pawl Clutches

    • Roach, Gregory Mark 1968-

    • This thesis proposes that compliant mechanism theory can be used to design over-running ratchet and pawl clutches with reduced part count, lower assembly and manufacturing time while maintaining functionality. An extension of the theory to the...

    • An Optimization-Based Framework for Designing Robust Cam-Based Constant-Force Compliant Mechanisms

    • Meaders, John Christian 1980-

    • Constant-force mechanisms are mechanical devices that provide a near-constant output force over a prescribed deflection range. This thesis develops various optimization-based methods for designing robust constant-force mechanisms. The...

    • Analysis and Design of Surface Micromachined Micromanipulators for Out-of-Plane Micropositioning

    • Jensen, Kimberly A 1977-

    • This thesis introduces two ortho-planar MEMS devices that can be used to position microcomponents: the XZ Micropositioning Mechanism and the XYZ Micromanipulator. The displacement and force relationships are presented. The devices were fabricated...

    • Characterizing the Three-Dimensional Behavior of Bistable Micromechanisms

    • Cherry, Brian B 1979-

    • Compliant bistable micromechanisms have been proposed for use in applications such as switches, relays, shutters, and sensing arrays. Unpublished laboratory testing suggests that off-axis forces may affect the bistable nature of fully compliant...

    • Compliant Centrifugal Clutches: Design, Analysis, and Testing

    • Crane, Nathan B 1974-

    • Existing classes of centrifugal clutch concepts were reviewed. The pseudo-rigid-body model (PRBM), rigid-body replacement synthesis, force-deflection analysis, compliance potential evaluation, and compliant concept evaluation were used to develop...

    • Compliant Mechanism Suspensions

    • Allred, Timothy Melvin 1976-

    • This thesis has explored the use of compliant mechanisms in vehicle suspension systems, specifically where a compliant mechanism acts as part of the wheel locating mechanism and as the energy storage element. A compliant mechanism has the potential...

    • Compliant Mechanisms to Perform Bearing and Spring Function in High Precision Applications

    • Cannon, Jesse R 1978-

    • An increasing number of mechanical systems are being designed on the micro and meso scales. Assembly and maintenance become increasingly difficult as the size of mechanisms decrease, and the minimum size of traditional elements such as bearings...

    • Compliant ortho-planar spring behavior under complex loads

    • Rasmussen, Nathan Oliver 1975-

    • This thesis presents research on the feasibility of applying compliant-ortho-planar springs (COPS) to rotational applications. The primary motivation of this research is the application of COPS to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The...

    • Design and Analysis of End-Effector Systems for Scribing on Silicon

    • Cannon, Bennion Rhead 1976-

    • This thesis investigates end-effector systems used in a chemomechanical scribing process. Chemomechanical scribing is a method of patterning silicon to selectively deposit a monolayer of material on the surface of the silicon. This thesis details...
