Variation Simulation of Fixtured Assembly Processes for Compliant Structures Using Piecewise-Linear Analysis
While variation analysis methods for compliant assemblies are not new, little has been done to include the effects of multi-step, fixtured assembly processes. This thesis introduces a new method to statistically analyze compliant part assembly processes using fixtures. This method, consistent with …

An Experimental Study of the Fluid- Structure Interactions of Water Entry of Compliant Structures
Water entry of compliant structures is a major area of interest within different fields of engineering. In the case of highly flexible panels, an application for this topic is on drag reduction due to shape reconfiguration of panels near the free surface to support further development of undulatory …

Fused Deposition Modeling of Composite Reinforced by Continuous Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Fiber
… Deposition Modeling (FDM) of composites with compliant high-strength fibers couldexpand opportunities for the design and fabrication of complex compliant structures. However, this area of additive manufacturing (AM) is currently not reported in the open literature. This study pursued …

Multistable and morphing corrugated shell structures
'Compliant' structures, i. e., structures that undergo large deformations as part of their normal behaviour, can perform the function of a complex mechanism with just a single, or very few, components. When multistability is introduced into compliant structures, an even greater simplification can …

Buckling at the Fluid - Soft Solid Interface; A Means for Advanced Functionality within Soft Materials
Soft materials and compliant structures often undergo significant deformation without failure, a unique feature making them distinct from classical rigid materials. These substantial deformations provide a means for faster or more energy efficient deformations, which can be achieved by taking …

Study of the compliance and system integration of bistable structures for use as actuation mechanisms in bioinspired adaptive systems
Bistable structures are desirable for actuation mechanisms because they allow for the efficient use of actuators by reducing the power required to change and maintain equilibrium positions. There is currently an increased interest in compliant bistable structures, especially for use in the fields …
