... beams. A complete theoretical stiffness model is developed and compared with the finite element analysis (FEA) model. Effects of multiple design parameters on finger stiffness performance are compared and analyzed, and the accuracy of the theoretical model is verified, with a maximum error of less than...

... analysis (FEA). The analytical stiffness model is derived using the approach of serially connected beams and superposition combinations. It works not only for thin-walled flexure beams but also for general thick beam models. 3-D printed prototypes were built to verify the feature and performance of the Tri...

... However, the situation when the electronic module fails is discretely through a bistable mechanism block or continuously dangerous. Therefore, intrinsic safety methods need to be by the block sliding. Detailed stiffness models of the two VSPB considered, for example, materials mechanical properties...
