Abstract

This paper presents the design and analysis of a compliant mechanism using hyperbolic flexural hinges. The flexural joint study is carried for the general Stewart platform with 6-6 configuration which has six degrees of freedom. The paper is aimed at designing a flexural joint using finite element method. First the maximum joint forces required for a particular movement of the Stewart platform is obtained from using MSC ADAMS software. The solid model developed in MSC ADAMS is validated with respect to the analytical Newton-Euler formulation for a set of motion. The results are in good match with each other for the extensions of legs. Then the forces are used to determine maximum stresses induced in the joints for different neck dimensions and lengths utilizing FEA software ABAQUS.
