Data for: Rapid Conceptual Design and Analysis of Spatial Flexure Mechanisms

The Excel file contains comparison of DAS3D results with Abaqus FE simulations. Accuracy of single sheet and wire flexures of different dimensions are investigated under various loading cases. The effect of dividing sheet and wire flexures into multiple segments is also investigated. Performance of single element hinge (circular, elliptic and filleted type) is compared with Abaqus FEA. Accuracy of three complex flexure mechanisms, double parallelogram, 3D sheet stage and 3D wire stage, compared to Abaqus FE simulations are studied in individual worksheets.

本Excel文件对DAS3D结果与Abaqus有限元仿真结果开展对比分析。研究了不同尺寸的单片状柔性铰链与线状柔性铰链在多种载荷工况下的精度表现，并探讨了将片状、线状柔性铰链划分为多个分段对分析结果的影响。同时对比了圆形、椭圆形及圆角型单单元铰链的性能与Abaqus有限元分析结果。此外，在各个独立工作表中，分别研究了双平行四边形机构、三维片状平台与三维线状平台这三类复杂柔性机构的精度，并与Abaqus有限元仿真结果进行对比。
