passivmechanische
Passivmechanische is a term used to describe mechanical systems and phenomena that operate predominantly through passive elements without active actuation or external energy input. The concept emphasizes components that store, dissipate, or transfer energy automatically, relying on material properties, geometry, gravity, and friction rather than motors or actuators.
Key components of passivmechanische systems include springs and compliant joints for energy storage, dampers for energy
In engineering and biomechanics, passivmechanische principles are applied in prosthetics, exoskeletons, robotics, vehicle suspensions, and vibration
Compared with active mechanical systems, passivmechanische designs trade broad controllability for simplicity, robustness, and low maintenance.
