Firstly, the research status and the principle of stick-slip driving was introduced. Secondly, the math model of the every step displacement and velocity of stick-slip driving was built. By using mathematical models, the relationship curve of the every step displacement and the step time was received through the simulation in Matlab software. Furthermore, in corroboration of the math model, the prototype was designed and the experiment system was built. From the testing of stick-slip prototype, the step displacement in every step time was tested 20 times and the relationship curve of the average every step displacement and step time was obtained. The simulation results are validated by the testing results and the method of reducing the time step to adjust the stick-slip driving step displacement and velocity were proved. In the future, a greater drive power should be researched for improving the movement performance of the stick-slip driving.","PeriodicalId":120368,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Manipulation, Manufacturing and Measurement on the Nanoscale","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121439621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Manual manipulation tends to have disadvantages of low success rate and low repeatability. In order to perform the robotic biomanipulations, a novel flexure-based Yθ large-workspace micromanipulator with differential lever displacement amplifier (DLDA) is proposed in this paper. After a series of optimal designs and mechanism modeling, the mechanism performance of the proposed micromanipulator is validated by using the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method. Finally, the proposed micromanipulator is fabricated and close-loop experimentally tested to make a prototype characterization. In this study, two piezoelectric (PZT) actuators P-216.80 with close-loop travel 120 μm and close-loop resolution 2.4 nm are employed, the simulation and experimentally results indicate that the mechanism displacement amplification ratio can reach up to 31, thus the maximum output displacement can achieve around 3.3 mm, the rotation angle can reach up to around 26.5°. Both theoretical derivation and prototype test results well testify the proposed mechanism possesses satisfactory performance to perform the practical biomanipulations.","PeriodicalId":120368,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Manipulation, Manufacturing and Measurement on the Nanoscale","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127500385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here combined influence of out-of-plane compressive stress and in-plane substrate relief in Au/PDMS bilayer system was experimentally investigated to explore morphological evolution of surface wrinkling. Compared with single influence from out-of-plane compression or in-plane relief, the combined effect mainly reflected in two aspects: edge effect and rearrangement effect. Edge effect applied morphological change on the compressed fields near the edges, but patterns almost restored to the original shape after stress relaxation. Rearrangement effect made relaxed patterns on the rectangular convex regions to rearrange and led to the failure of shape memory effect. The results demonstrated that the combined effect could partly rearrange the original structures, which would be utilized to fabricate the complicated structures.","PeriodicalId":120368,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Manipulation, Manufacturing and Measurement on the Nanoscale","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116848671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Topology optimization has proven to be a powerful method for the conceptual design of structures and mechanisms. Topology optimization is the technique that finds the optimal layout of the structure within a specified design domain. This paper presents the micro/nano angular-table compliant mechanism. The topology optimization is applied for designing two-dimensional micro/nano angular-table compliant mechanism.

The surfaces of polystyrene substrates were patterned using UV-laser radiation with a wavelength of 193 nm at different conditions. Different surface topographies were fabricated and then measured by an optical surface profiler and contact angle measurements. For bacterial adhesion experiments, an assay of Escherichia coli (E.coli) has been developed and used for bacterial adhesion measurements on both as received and the modified polystyrene surfaces. The method is based upon the staining of attached bacterial cells with the nucleic acid-binding, green fluorescent DAPI stain. The preliminary results show that laser-assisted modification by using laser ablation can make polystyrene substrates either more hydrophilic (with oxygen) or more hydrophobic (with air). The contact angle can be varied from 37° to 108°. The results on bacterial attachment show that the polystyrene substrates as received have no bacteria attached, indicating a good anti-bacterial performance. The treated substrates show some bacterial attachment and, in particular, the surfaces with high contact angle have much higher numbers of bacterial cells attached. This indicates that such laser-assisted process with air can make polystyrene surfaces more attractive to E. coli bacteria.","PeriodicalId":120368,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Manipulation, Manufacturing and Measurement on the Nanoscale","volume":"28 14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115884244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
