• A large range flexure-based servo system supporting precision additive manufacturing 

  Zhang, Zhen; Yan, Peng; Hao, Guangbo (Elsevier Ltd, 2017)

  This paper presents the design, development, and control of a large range beam flexure-based nano servo system for the micro-stereolithography (MSL) process. As a key enabler of high accuracy in this process, a compact ...
• Determining the range of allowable axial force for the third-order Beam Constraint Mode 

  Ma, Fulei; Chen, Guimin; Hao, Guangbo (Copernicus Publications, 2018)

  The Beam Constraint Model (BCM) was developed for the purpose of accurately and analytically modeling nonlinear behaviors of a planar beam flexure over an intermediate range of transverse deflections (10% of the beam ...
• Effect of degree-of-symmetry on kinetostatic characteristics of flexure mechanisms: a comparative case study 

  He, Xiao-Bing; Yu, Jing-Jun; Zhang, Wan-Wan; Hao, Guang-Bo (Springer International Publishing AG, )

  The current research of kinetostatic characteristics in flexure mechanisms mainly focus on the improvement of accuracy. To reduce or eliminate the parasitic motion is considered as an approach by using the common knowledge ...
• Position-space-based design of a symmetric spatial translational compliant mechanism for micro-/nano-manipulation 

  Li, Haiyang; Hao, Guangbo (MDPI AG, )

  Symmetry enables excellent motion performance of compliant mechanisms, such as minimized parasitic motion, reduced cross-axis coupling, mitigated buckling, and decreased thermal sensitivity. However, most existing symmetric ...
• An analysis of the potential benefits of centralised predictive control for optimal electrical power generation from wave energy arrays 

  O'Sullivan, Adrian C. M.; Sheng, Wanan; Lightbody, Gordon (IEEE, 2018)

  This work focuses on an array of point absorbers, with linear permanent magnet generators (LPMG) connected to the grid via back to back voltage source converters, controlled using economic model predictive control (MPC) ...
