Parametric Deflection Approximations for End-Loaded, Large-Deflection Beams in Compliant Mechanisms
Geometric nonlinearities often complicate the analysis of systems containing largedeflection members. The time and resources required to develop closed-form or numerical solutions have inspired the… Expand

Accommodating Thickness in Origami-Based Deployable Arrays
- Shannon A. Zirbel, R. Lang, +5 authors L. Howell
- Engineering
- 1 November 2013
The purpose of this work is to create deployment systems with a large ratio of stowed-to-deployed diameter. Deployment from a compact form to a final flat state can be achieved through… Expand
Modeling the thermal behavior of a surface-micromachined linear-displacement thermomechanical microactuator
- Christian D. Lott, T. McLain, J. Harb, L. Howell

- 30 September 2002
Thermomechanical microactuators possess a number of desirable attributes including ease of fabrication and large force and displacement capabilities relative to other types of microactuators. These… Expand
Evaluation of equivalent spring stiffness for use in a pseudo-rigid-body model of large-deflection compliant mechanisms
Compliant mechanisms gain some or all of their mobility from the flexibility of their members rather than from rigid-body joints only. More efficient and usable analysis and design techniques are… Expand
A Loop-Closure Theory for the Analysis and Synthesis of Compliant Mechanisms
Compliant mechanisms gain at least some of their motion from flexible members. The combination of large-deflection beam analysis, kinematic motion analysis, and energy storage makes the analysis of… Expand
Lamina Emergent Torsional (LET) Joint
- J. Jacobsen, G. Chen, L. Howell, S. Magleby

- 1 November 2009
Abstract Part of the challenge in designing compliant mechanisms is finding suitable joints that provide the needed motion and force–deflection characteristics. The Lamina Emergent Torsional (LET)… Expand

Identification of compliant pseudo-rigid-body four-link mechanism configurations resulting in bistable behavior
Bistable mechanisms, which have two stable equilibria within their range of motion, are important parts of a wide variety of systems, such as closures, valves, switches, and clasps. Compliant… Expand
