DOI: 10.1177/0954406217721725
Abstract: The inner-outer ring flexure pivot (IORFP), composed of three straight springs that cross each other in space, is studied in this work. First, to emphasize the study value of IORFP, qualitative comparison is applied to… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2025.1527730
Abstract: Purpose Higher stiffenss is expected to augment performance by increasing the utilisation of elastic energy. However, excessive lower extremity stiffness increases the risk of bony injuries; while insufficient stiffness is associated with a higher likelihood… read more here.
