Mechanisms of Compliant Shells
2019Thin shells are three dimensional curved solids with a thickness that is small compared to the two other dimensions. For structural engineers, traditional rigid thin shells are some of the most efficient structural typologies. The curvature and continuity that characterizes them are the source of their high stiffness under loading.

Design of Distributed Compliant Mechanisms
Mechanics Based Design of Structures and Machines, 2003Abstract The optimization problem formulations currently used to synthesize compliant mechanism topologies aim to maximize the flexibility for obtaining the desired output motion while maximizing the overall stiffness for satisfactorily bearing the applied loads.

Magneto-Elastic Compliant Mechanisms
Volume 6C: 18th Biennial Conference on Mechanical Vibration and Noise, 2001Abstract The motivation for this work has been a variety of motions like navigation of pipelines, insertion operations in assembly, and gripping actions, which require the adaptation of the mechanism to the external constraints, rather than avoid them.

Compliant Mechanisms for Robotic Ankles
Volume 6A: 37th Mechanisms and Robotics Conference, 2013We have developed a compliant robotic tendon mechanism for a robotic ankle. In this paper, we analyze the differences between a stiff and compliant robotic tendon versus a stiff and compliant slider crank mechanism. The compliant, slider-crank mechanism reduces peak forces and speed required by an actuator at the ankle.

Compliant Mechanisms in Plants and Architecture
2016Plant movements can inspire deployable systems for architectural purposes which can be regarded as ideal solutions combining resilient bio-inspired functionality with elegant natural motion. Here, we first give a concise overview of various compliant mechanisms existing in technics and in plants. Then we describe two case studies from our current joint

Compliant Mechanism as Bicycle Spokes
This paper was presented at the 29th International Scientific Conference MECHANIKA 2025, held on 23 May 2025 at Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania. The paper introduces a compliant bicycle spoke design inspired by the Chinese finger trap geometry, using helical composite strips to achieve vibration damping and shock absorption without ...Shah, Prathmesh Hitesh, Skiedraite, Inga
