Statics analysis and optimization design for a fixed - guided beam flexure
The ratchet mechanism has been used
to ensure moving in one direction of rotation,
i.e. either clockwise or counter-clockwise. This
mechanism is designed based on xed-guided
beam
exures to reduce friction, and improves
accuracy compared to the traditional mechanism.
This paper presents a static analysis and parameter optimization for the xed-guided beam
exures via using the pseudo-rigid-body model
and a fmincon algorithm. The Finite Element
Method (FEM) of the xed-guided beam also
has been used to verify the maximum stress and
the x−direction displacement. Modied pseudorigid-body model (M-PRBM) is also applied to
signicantly enhance the accuracy of the maximum stress value. The results show that the
averaged errors of maximum stress between MPRBM and FEM are 3.48% for aluminum, and
less than 10.9% for titanium, carbon steel, and
alloy steel. From the obtained results, the MPRBM is good for prototype design and fabrication of ratchet mechanism in the future.

The maximum displacements of the carbon and stainless steels are approximate val- ues, and are higher than those of the titanium and aluminum. The averaged errors between the PRBM and FEM are 11.30%, 11.56%, 2.89% and 1.27% for carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium, and aluminum, respectively. There are large dif- ferences between the two aforementioned meth- ods for carbon steel, stainless steel. There are good agreements between them for titanium and aluminum. Similar to the calculated results of the maximum stresses, the elastic modulus of aluminum is smaller than that of the other ma- terials. This leads to the displacement of the aluminum obtains the smallest values. Case 2: h = 0.5 Similar to the calculated method of the h = 0.4 mm. Calculation results for h = 0.5 mm are presented in Tab. 8, and plotted in Fig. 10 and Fig. 11. The data in Fig. 10 shows that maximum stress distributions of four different materials are plotted against the beam width. Similar to the calculated results of the maximum stresses show in Fig. 8. All of the stresses also decrease when the beam width increase. The averaged er- rors of the carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium, and aluminum are 16.44%, 12.02%, 14.02%, and 3.54%, respectively. The maximum stresses of those are 320 N/mm 2 , 317 N/mm 2 , 238 N/mm 2 , and 197 N/mm 2 , respectively. The maximum stresses of the titanium and aluminum lower than of the carbon and stainless steel. The car- bon steel, stainless steel, and titanium have large averaged errors while the aluminum is nearly ac- curacy. This may be explained similarly to the calculated results of the maximum stresses with h =0.4 mm. The data in Fig. 11 shows that cal- culated displacements in the x−direction profile of four different materials are drawn against the beam width. The maximum displacements in the x−direction of titanium and aluminum are 32.94 mm and 26.14 mm, respectively while car- bon and stainless steels of this value are 44.4 mm and 43.96 mm, respectively. The averaged er- rors of the carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium and aluminum between the PRBM and FEM are 14.56%, 15.21%, 4.83%, and 2.96%, respectively. Similarly, as Fig. 9, the displacement of the alu- minum obtains the smallest values.

Therefore, M-PRBM theory is only suitable for materials with elastic modulus simi- lar to aluminum material. Besides, when h = 0.4 mm and 0.5 mm, the error of maximum stress and the x−direction displacement increases as the material has an elastic modulus larger (i.e. the error is proportional to the elastic modulus E). However, when h = 0.6 mm, this error does c© 2020 Journal of Advanced Engineering and Computation (JAEC) 137 VOLUME: 4 | ISSUE: 2 | 2020 | June not change much when materials are changed, except for the average error of the maximum stress for titanium material. 5. Conclusions In this paper, static analysis and optimization design are proposed for the fixed-guided beam flexures. These flexures are intended for driv- ing the ratchet mechanism. The PRBM theory for large deformations of fixed-guided parallel beams flexures are used to calculate the max- imum stress and the x−direction displacement. Predicted values from the analytical method are verified by FEM using ANSYS 18.1 software. The FEM simulations are established for three cases of the beams that have the height vary- ing from 0.4 mm to 0.6 mm with four differ- ent materials. The configuration of the fixed- guided beam has been optimized for maximum x−direction displacement. Because there is a large error of maximum stress between PRBM and FEM, so M-PRBM is designed to obtain the accuracy of the maximum stress value. The value of y−direction displacement (parasitical displacement) is very small, so it is neglected. Compared with the FEM simulations, the M- PRBM is a better calculation of the maximum stress than the PRBM. The averaged errors be- tween the M-PRBM and the FEM simulation are 3.48% for aluminum, and less than 10.9% for titanium, carbon steel, and alloy steel. The M-PRBM is therefore good for the design and fabrication of the compliant mechanism. Future work, the proposed method is extended for re- lated compliant mechanisms.
