Pivot, process for manufacturing such a pivot, oscillator comprising such a pivot, watch movement and timepiece comprising such an oscillator

Simon Nessim Henein, Loïc Benoît Tissot-Daguette

The present invention concerns a pivot comprising two assemblies, namely a central assembly (401) and a peripheral assembly (400). These two assemblies are mobile in rotation relative to each other around an axis of rotation (A). The pivot is characterized ...

Near-Zero Parasitic Shift Flexure Pivots Based on Coupled n-RRR Planar Parallel Mechanisms

Simon Nessim Henein, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann, Florent Cosandier, Loïc Benoît Tissot-Daguette

Flexure pivots, which are widely used for precision mechanisms, generally have the drawback of presenting parasitic shifts accompanying their rotation. The known solutions for canceling these undesirable parasitic translations usually induce a loss in radi ...

The General Crack Component Model for reversed cyclic shear

David Michael Volpe Ruggiero

A growing body of research has shown that reversed cyclic shear loading of reinforced concrete (RC) causes effects that are not accounted for in monotonic behavioral models. Notable among these effects are a reduction in shear strength and significant plas ...
