9624574 Howell This award provides resources to support research and teaching in the area of compliant mechanisms. Compliant mechanisms gain some or all of their motion from the deflection of flexible members rather than from traditional joints only. In the past, compliant mechanisms have been limited to simple applications due to difficulties associated with their analysis. This research focuses on the development of methodologies to simplify compliant mechanism analysis and design. The pseudo-rigid-body model concept will be developed for analysis of these non-linear systems, and will be used to unify compliant mechanism and rigid-body mechanism theories. New and recent research results will be integrated into the curriculum in the form of a new course on compliant mechanisms for graduate and upper-level undergraduate students. Compliant-mechanism theory offers a new way of solving many mechanical-motion problems. Advantages of compliant mechanisms include decreased manufacturing and assembly time and decreased cost due to reductions in part count. Other advantages include reductions in weight, vibration, noise, and wear. Compliant mechanisms also simplify the design of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and allow them to be constructed using methods similar to those used to fabricate integrated circuits. The research will enable the design of mechanisms that were previously considered unlikely, if not impossible, applications of compliant mechanisms.

9624574 Howell 该奖项提供资源来支持合规机制领域的研究和教学。 柔性机构的部分或全部运动来自柔性构件的偏转，而不仅仅是传统的关节。 过去，由于分析困难，顺从机制仅限于简单的应用。 这项研究的重点是开发简化顺从机构分析和设计的方法。 伪刚体模型概念将被开发用于分析这些非线性系统，并将用于统一柔顺机构和刚体机构理论。 新的和最新的研究成果将以针对研究生和高年级本科生的合规机制新课程的形式融入课程中。 顺从机构理论提供了解决许多机械运动问题的新方法。 柔性机构的优点包括减少制造和组装时间以及由于零件数量减少而降低成本。 其他优点包括减轻重量、振动、噪音和磨损。 兼容机制还简化了微机电系统 (MEMS) 的设计，并允许使用类似于制造集成电路的方法来构建它们。 这项研究将使以前被认为不太可能（即使不是不可能）应用顺从机制的机制设计成为可能。
