.... We show that a novel bio-actuator with high performance can be developed by introducing compliant flexural mechanisms undergoing large deflection. Geometric nonlinearities are accounted for in the analysis of the force-deflection relationship for the flexural mechanism. Our results show...

... solutions for an extremely wide range of deflections are finally obtained by the proposed method. These results for moderately large deflections are in good agreement with existing solutions. Meanwhile, the other results for larger deflections are rarely achieved by using other methods. Comparative studies...

.... 2.1 was further investigated by developing a parametric finite element model (FEM) simulation of multiple inline, interacting cantilever beams undergoing large deflections. The model could simulate a wide array of input parameters. The two-dimensional FEM was developed in abaqus / cae 2019 [ 19...

...Jian Zhao; Jianyuan Jia; Xiaoping He; Hongxi Wang Based on the geometrical nonlinear theory of large deflection elastic beams, the governing differential equations of post-buckling behavior of clamped-clamped inclined beams subjected to combined forces are established. By using the implicit...
