Abstract

Present article highlights at the achievement of XY mechanism that utilizes fundamental building elements, for e.g, beam of cantilever structure, double parallelogram and parallelogram flexural structures with respect to their execution aspects like parasitic error and stiffness. Distinguishing amongst biflex mechanisms is done in view of various parameters like stiffness, parasitic flaw and angular movement of deformation stage. Theoretical and finite element analysis is done for this and it is noted that double parallelogram flexure gives great execution results with respect to other flexural building structures. XY flexural system utilizing double flexural mechanism (DFM) is further fabricated and test experiments are implemented. Experimental, FEA and theoretical results show acceptable degree of accuracy. Cite this Article Sharad S. Mulik, A. Krishnamoorthy, Suhas P. Deshmukh et al.
