Parametric Optimization and Stiffness Determination of XY Positioning Stage for High Precision Applications
Abstract: In micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) flexural mechanisms are widely used because of their advantages such as frictionless and wear less motion and high precision. Flexures depend on material elasticity for their functionality. In flexure mechanism, motion is generated due to elastic deformation of the beam from which it is made. One of the typical advantages of flexural mechanism is to gain precise deformation and flexibility to obtain motion in desired direction. …

Finite Element Modelling of Contact Stresses in Helical Gear Systems
Abstract: Helical gears are widely used in modern power‐transmission systems because of their high load‐carrying capacity, smooth meshing action, and increased overlapping of gear teeth. However, the design of helical gear pairs is constrained by contact stresses generated at the mating tooth surfaces, which can lead to surface fatigue (pitting), micro-cracking, and ultimately gear failure. Traditional analytical methods, such as those of the American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) or International Organization …
