Design and Analysis of a Novel Compliant Mechanism with RPR Degrees of Freedom
Chinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2022 A novel compliant mechanism with RPR degrees of freedom (DOF) is proposed where R and P represent rotation and translation DOFs, respectively. The proposed compliant mechanism is obtained from dimension synthesizing a 2-RPU-UPR rigid parallel mechanism ...

Viscous fingering and dendritic growth under an elastic membrane [PDF]
, 2016 We investigate the viscous fingering instability that arises when air is injected from the end of an oil-filled, compliant channel. We show that induced axial and transverse depth gradients foster novel pattern formation. Moreover, the steady propagation

Compliant shell mechanisms [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2012 This paper describes a class of lightweight structures known as compliant shell mechanisms. These are novel reconfigurable solutions for advanced structures, such as morphing shells and deployable membranes. They have local, discrete corrugations, which articulate and deform to achieve dramatic changes in the overall shape of the shell.

Review Article: Inventory of platforms towards the design of a statically balanced six degrees of freedom compliant precision stage [PDF]
Mechanical Sciences, 2011 For many applications in precision engineering, a six degrees of freedom (DoF) compliant stage (CS) with zero stiffness is desirable, to deal with problems like backlash, friction, lubrication, and at the same time, reduce the actuation force.

Using Singularities of Parallel Manipulators for Enhancing the Rigid-body Replacement Design Method of Compliant Mechanisms [PDF]
, 2014 International audienceThe rigid-body replacement method is often used when designing a compliant mechanism. The stiffness of the compliant mechanism, one of its main properties, is then highly dependent on the initial choice of a rigid-body architecture.
