KeywordsAshok Midha, career, Purdue, mechanical engineeringAbstractWhen I received the news that Professor Ashok Midha had passed away, I was grieved by the unexpected news. But I also felt another emotion: gratitude for having known him. I am grateful for him, for the opportunity I had to learn from him, and for the influence he has had on my life and career. I wanted to honor his memory in some way. This document is in response to that desire.

KeywordsDevelopable mechanism, developable surface, cylindrical developable mechanism, morphing mechanismAbstractDevelopable mechanisms can provide high functionality and compact stowability. This paper presents engineering models to aid in the design of cylindrical developable mechanisms. These models take into account the added spatial restrictions imposed by the developable surface. Equations are provided for the kinematic analysis of cylindrical developable mechanisms.

KeywordsCross-Axis Flexural Pivot, Contact-Aided Compliant Mechanism, Chained-Beam-Constraint Model, Multi Software FrameworkAbstractThis paper reports the study of a planar Cross-Axis Flexural Pivot (CAFP) comprising an additional contact pair. The proposed device turns useful for applications requiring a revolute joint that behaves differently when deflecting clockwise/anti-clockwise.
