Application of Graded Materials
- Berkeley 1 DOF Walking Machine
- Four-Bar Linkages Represent Practical Application Well Suited to Use of Graded Materials
Notes:
- 1 degree of freedom walking machined designed and fabricated at UC Berkeley in 1999.
- The four bar linkages represent a practical application well suited to the use of graded materials.
- Design unitizes two rotary joints (revolving 360°) and two rocker joints
- Rocker joints become a very applicable position to introduce compliance and damping into the design by replacing the original pin joints with flexural regions.
