  1. Bistable prestressed spring steel grippers for aerial perching and grasping

    Jones, Bryce, author, Zhao, Jianguo, advisor, Ciarcia, Marco, committee member, Simske, Steve, committee memberColorado State University. Libraries2024

    … gap in research through the use of prestressed spring steel bands (PSSB) to create compliant bistable grippers for aerial perching and grasping. We investigate multiple different PSSB configurations. We first investigate two single PSSB gripper designs, a single band gripper with a cable driven …

  3. A flexible crampon design

    Fahey, Nicholas J., S.B. Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyMassachusetts Institute of Technology2005

    … the crampon itself is flexible, being made from spring steel. This allows the crampon to flex with a hiker's foot, thereby improving walking comfort.

  4. Vibration-to-electric energy conversion using a mechanically-varied capacitor

    Yen, Bernard Chih-Hsun, 1981-Massachusetts Institute of Technology2005

    … AC capacitance, formed by a 43.56 cm2 spring steel top plate attached to an aluminum base, drives the experimental charge pump near 1.56 kHz. HSPICE simulation confirms that given a maximum to minimum capacitance ratio larger than 1.65 and realistic models for the transistor and diodes, …

  5. Development of a low-cost high-impact resistant compliant myoelectric prosthetic hand

    Choi, Kyung YunUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2017

    … follower link with three layers of pre-stressed spring steel. This design behaves like a conventional four-bar linkage but adds lateral compliance and eliminates a pin joint, which is a main site of failure on impact. We introduce the fabrication process of the compliant finger and palm that …

  6. Design and modelling of ultra-high strength steels: nanoprecipitation and plasticity

    Kim, Bij-NaUniversity of Cambridge2014

    … research was to develop new ultra-high strength steels via nanoprecipitation control, which requires an understanding of the processing-microstructure-property relationship in medium carbon (0.5-0.6 wt.%) steels throughout tempering. Much of the work has been centred in understanding the role of …

  7. A study of the microstructural and mechanical properties of novel spring steels.

    Harris-Pointer, Cheryl Faye.Sheffield Hallam University (United Kingdom).1998

    This work is concerned with track spring components manufactured by Pandrol from a SiMn alloy in the quenched and tempered condition. For many years low to medium carbon based spring steel has been manufactured via an oil quench temper route producing components with suitable mechanical and …
