Kinematic synthesis of planar four bar and geared five bar mechanisms with structural constraints
… generation, the objective is to calculate the mechanism parameters required to achieve or approximate a set of prescribed rigid-body positions. This doctoral dissertation study is aimed to integrate the classical kinematic analysis of a planar four-bar and geared five-bar motion generation with …

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 …
