Static & Modal Analysis of X-Y-Flexural Mechanism

Abstract

This paper is an attempt to study the effect of thickness, length & width variation of flexural member on static & Dynamic behavior of flexural mechanism. ANSYS Software is used to create parametric model of flexural mechanism and do both static & modal analysis. Due to parametric modeling once we created model of mechanism in ANSYS & apply all constrain & load conditions. By varying dimensions of flexural member we can plot graphs of Thickness VS Deflection, stress etc. Above graphs will allow us to optimize flexural member. As both static & Modal analysis is done. The results will be more effective & realistic for comparision. Index Terms-Flexural member, Modal analysis of flexural mechanism, Deflection of flexural member.
