The hands are regarded as the most intensively used parts of the human body. They are used to perform very different activities, and to carry out daily necessary needs. Due to their exposed location and the frequent use, hands have a high risk of injury. Through the naturalness with which humans use…
In many technological fields spring clip mechanisms are used as a kind of compliant mechanisms, especially as clamping and locking elements. A specially formed spring clip is supported by two parallel arranged revolute joints with shifted axes. Due to the special support of the compliant mechanism element…
In this paper a compliant fluid-mechanical drive which provides a helical motion for adduction of dry electrodes on the surface of the head is investigated. The simulated and measured characteristics is compared at load torque of ML = -0.4 Nm to 0.2 Nm in steps of 0.2 Nm. The drive has a height and a…
The aim of this paper is the development and the design of a device achieving a planar equibiaxial tension test. The transformation of the uniaxial into an equibiaxial motion is realized by an stretching frame. The device can be integrated in a commercial uniaxial tension machine. Hereby, the possible…
