The Mechanical Errors In The Common Theory Of Flexures

By Robert H Cousins

Book Overview

The Mechanical Errors In The Common Theory Of Flexures is a book authored by Robert H. Cousins. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the common theory of flexures, which is often used in the design of precision mechanisms. The author highlights the mechanical errors that are inherent in this theory and offers alternative methods for designing flexures that reduce or eliminate these errors.The book begins by introducing the concept of flexures and their applications in precision engineering. The author then reviews the common theory of flexures and identifies the mechanical errors that can arise from its use. These errors include lateral and rotational stiffness, hysteresis, and nonlinear behavior.The author proposes alternative methods for designing flexures that reduce or eliminate these errors. These methods include the use of compliant mechanisms, optimization techniques, and finite element analysis. The book also includes case studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of these methods in real-world applications.Overall, The Mechanical Errors In The Common Theory Of Flexures is a valuable resource for engineers and designers who are interested in improving the precision and accuracy of their mechanisms. The book provides a thorough analysis of the mechanical errors that can arise from the common theory of flexures and offers practical solutions for addressing these errors.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
