Short description of project
This project aims to the design a new compliant-mechanism based motion system for precision engineering application. Flexure mechanisms with positive and negative stiffness will be designed and combined to implement a zero-stiffness mechanism, which has a larger output motion range and a compact physical dimension. Parametric design of the flexure mechanism will be conducted by establishing analytical models for quantifying the stage’s performance. These models will be validated by performing finite element analysis. A prototype stage will be fabricated. With the equipped sensors, actuators, and controller, the performance of the developed positioning system will be tested by extensive experimental investigations. Suitable control algorithms will be developed to realize an ultrahigh precision micropositioning for the system.
