Based on the failure mechanism of the stiffened joints, four theoretical models and corresponding equations for predicting the strength of the stiffeners are proposed. Combined with existing unstiffened DT-joint design equations, a design equation for the stiffened joints is proposed. The finite element analysis shows that the failure of the stiffened joints under brace axial loads can be characterized by plastic hinges forming in the stiffener and chord wall yielding in the vicinity of the brace-chord intersection. The reliability of the proposed stiffener strength equations is demonstrated by a reliability analysis. Good agreement is achieved between the stiffened joint strength calculated from the proposed joint strength equation and that obtained from finite element analysis.展开更多

A novel large workspace flexure parallel manipulator system utilizing wide-range flexure hinges as passive joints is proposed in this paper, which can attain sub-micron-seale precision over the cubic centimeter motion range. This paper introduces the mechanical system architecture based on the wide-range flexure hinges, analyzes the kinematics via stiffness matrices, presents the control system configuration and control strategy, and finally gives the system performance test results.展开更多
