Biomimetic Research: Investigated high-efficiency compliant mechanisms in nature (e.g., avian wing structures and aquatic fins) to conceptualize single-piece flexible designs that eliminate the friction, wear, and complexity of traditional rigid-joint assemblies.
- 02
Conceptual Kinematics: Developed initial 2D mathematical models and geometric schematics to define the physical constraints (e.g., 2.125-inch boundaries) and the expected rotational behavior of the oscillating mechanism.
- 03
3D CAD Prototyping: Translated theoretical sketches into a 3D solid model using Autodesk Fusion 360. Utilized strategic sectioning in the CAD environment to visualize the internal compliant structure and its primary point of oscillation.
