Characterization of a Viscoelastic Response from Thin Metal Films Deposited on Silicon for Microsystem Applications
… actuators which employ a diaphragm supported by torsional hinges which deform during actuation are used in many applications where device stability and reliability are critical. The material response to the stress developed within the hinge during actuation controls how the actuator will respond …

Fundamental Components for Lamina Emergent Mechanisms
… and a new complaint joint, the lamina emergent torsional (LET) Joint. The flexible segments are developed through changes in geometry, boundary/loading conditions, and material. The fundamental mechanisms presented have motion similar to planar change-point four-bar and six-bar mechanisms, and …
