3D model of byu_cmr
The models were repaired and checked for printability.
This compliant mechanism is a large-displacement monolithic compliant rotational hinge,
...Show more designed by BYU's CMR lab to help deployable hinges on spacecraft be more efficient.
What is a large-displacement monolithic compliant rotational hinge?
Large displacement means that it has a large degree of movement, and monolithic means that it can be made out of a single piece of material. This is a hinge that is designed to move 180 degrees and can be manufactured in a single piece.
