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.

Keywordslamina emergent torsion, LET joints, origami-based, mechanical engineering, load displacementAbstractLamina emergent torsion (LET) joints for use in origami-based applications enables folding of panels. Placing LET joints in series and parallel (formulating LET arrays) opens the design space to provide for tunable stiffness characteristics in other directions while maintaining the ability to fold.
