A computational design tool for compliant mechanisms
ACM Transactions on Graphics, 2017We present a computational tool for designing compliant mechanisms. Our method takes as input a conventional, rigidly-articulated mechanism defining the topology of the compliant design. This input can be both planar or spatial, and we support a number of common joint types which, whenever possible, are automatically replaced with parameterized ...

Non-linear analytical modeling of planar compliant mechanisms
, 2021Compliant mechanisms are state of the art in technical applications, especially in precision engineering. They mostly achieve their motion due to bending-dominated deformation of their compliant segments, i.e. flexure hinges.

A novel isogeometric topology optimization framework for planar compliant mechanisms
, 2021In this article, we focus on a design problem of planar compliant mechanisms within the framework of isogeometric topology optimization. An integrated model is developed to identify the optimal deformation transferring path for precise motion output. The

On the synthesis of compliant mechanisms
Proceedings. 1991 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002In the study of mechanisms, there is a significant set of problems for which the solutions require the application of techniques from the fields of both kinematic and elastic issues. Through an emphasis on a geometrical interpretation of these subjects, the authors formulate and solve a number of questions which arise in the design of compliant devices.

Human Driven Compliant Transmission Mechanism
2021 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2021Energetically-passive robot exoskeletons, mimicking the function of the bicycle, could enable humans to reach previously unprecedented mobility. However, energetically-passive robot exoskeletons require a sophisticated mechanism to enable the human to supply energy, similar to what is enabled by the variable gear transmission mechanism of the bicycle ...

A Compliant On/Off Connection Mechanism for Preloading Statically Balanced Compliant Mechanisms
Volume 4: 36th Mechanisms and Robotics Conference, Parts A and B, 2012Static balancing is an important contribution to compliant mechanisms enabling low operating force, thus allowing high mechanical efficiency. Preloading is generally needed in statically balanced compliant mechanisms, which at smaller scales presents a significant challenge. Physical handling of zero-force structures without causing damage also becomes

On the Classification of Compliant Mechanisms and Synthesis of Compliant Single-Strip Mechanisms
Volume 6: 35th Mechanisms and Robotics Conference, Parts A and B, 2011Compliant mechanisms, unlike rigid-body mechanisms, are devices that derive some or all of their mobility due to the deformation of their flexible members. The knowledge of existing rigid-body mechanism synthesis techniques is very useful in designing compliant mechanisms.
