This book brings together investigations which combine theoretical and experimental results related to such systems as flexure hinges and compliant mechanisms for precision applications, the non-linear analytical modeling of compliant mechanisms, mechanical systems using compliance as a bipedal robot and reconfigurable tensegrity systems and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) as energy efficient micro-robots, microscale force compensation, magnetoelectric micro-sensors, acoustical actuators and the wafer bonding as a key technology for the MEMS fabrication. 

The volume gathers twelve contributions presented at the 5th Conference on Microactuators, Microsensors and Micromechanisms (MAMM), held in Ilmenau, Germany in November 2020. The aim of the conference was to provide a special opportunity for a know-how exchange and collaboration in various disciplines concerning systems pertaining to micro-technology.  

The conference was organized underthe patronage of IFToMM (International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science).

Compliant mechanisms and actuators are growing in importance due to their benefits in robotics, medical technology, sensor applications, or in handling compressible objects. This book helps to understand the mechanical behavior of compliant systems. Suggested classifications and different modeling methods are shown that allow for the description of compliant systems.

This book brings together investigations which combine theoretical and experimental results related to such systems as capsule micromechanisms, active micro catheters, nanotube vascular stents, mechanisms for micromilling, different compliant mechanisms including grippers and compliant systems with actuators and sensors, microrobots based on vibrations, tactile sensors, tooth brackets, compliant valves, and space reflectors. 

This volume contains twenty-two contributions from researchers from ten countries, represented at the 4th Conference on Microactuators and Micromechanisms, which was held in 2016 in Ilmenau, Germany. The aim of the conference was to provide a special opportunity for a know-how exchange and collaboration in various disciplines concerning systems pertaining to micro-technology.

Nachgiebige Mechanismen sind im Stande, Bewegungen und Kräfte zu übertragen dank der Fähigkeit zur Deformation von Systemteilen bzw. des ganzen Systems. Diese Eigenschaft ruft mehrere Vorteile nachgiebiger Mechanismen hervor. Sie können monolithisch hergestellt werden und sind dadurch miniaturisierbar. Sie sind reibungsfrei und wartungsarm sowie im Stande, komplexe Bahnen zu realisieren. Zu einem der Nachteile nachgiebiger Mechanismen gehört deren komplizierte theoretische Beschreibung, daher widmet sich das Buch in erster Linie unterschiedlichen Modellierungsmethoden nachgiebiger Mechanismen und fluidmechanischer Aktuatoren. Das vorliegende Werk bietet außerdem erstmals eine breite Klassifikation zur Thematik mit Anwendungsbeispielen aus verschiedenen technischen Bereichen. Ein Greifer mit verformbaren Fingern, ein Greifer mit einem elastischen Körper, eine gekrümmte verformbare Sonde, nachgiebige Sensorelemente, ein Bohrer unter Belastung und ein Schlauch mit Innenströmung – das sind nur einige von den Beispielen, an welchen die Wege der Modellbildung nachgiebiger Systeme demonstriert werden.
