Synthesis and analysis of parallel Kinematic XY flexure mechanisms
This thesis presents a family of XY flexure mechanisms with large ranges of motion, first-order decoupled degrees of freedom, and small parasitic error motions. Synthesis is based on an systematic and symmetric layout of constraints that are realized by means of common flexure building blocks. An …

X-ray microscope performance enhancement through control architecture change
The goal of this thesis is to apply control algorithms to improve the performance of nanopositioning devices used on the beamline in Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). A prototype device, better known as the Early User Instrument (EUI) was the subject of this work. …
