Abstract

A passive energy balancing concept for linear actuation is investigated in the current work by adopting a negative stiffness mechanism. The proposed negative stiffness mechanism uses a pre-tensioned spring to produce a passive torque and therefore to transfer the passive torque through a crankshaft...
