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

Journal of Mechanical Design, 2008
This paper presents an alternative to fabrication methods commonly used in compliant mechanisms research, resulting in a new class of compliant mechanisms called wireform mechanisms. This technique integrates torsional springs made of formed wire into compliant mechanisms.

Compliant Mechanisms for MEMS and Flexonics
2008 IEEE Conference on Robotics, Automation and Mechatronics, 2008Summary form only given. A continuum compliant mechanism transmits applied forces from specified input ports to output ports by elastic deformation of its comprising materials, fulfilling required functions analogous to a rigid-body mechanism. It has a large range of applications in both micro and macro domains.

On the Mobility of Compliant Mechanisms
23rd Biennial Mechanisms Conference: Machine Elements and Machine Dynamics, 1994Abstract The topological synthesis for a compliant mechanism leads to a very large number of design options from which to select a final design. Therefore, an evaluation of a mechanism’s ability to meet selected criteria provides a means of reducing a large number of possible designs to a smaller set of acceptable designs.

Compliant Mechanism Prototyping
Volume 7B: 26th Biennial Mechanisms and Robotics Conference, 2000Abstract Flexible segments present challenges to prototyping compliant mechanisms. This paper discusses methods for prototyping compliant mechanisms, including use of 3-axis CNC milling, laser cutting, and wire EDM. Rapid prototyping methods and hybrid methods are also discussed.

An Introduction to Mechanical Advantage in Compliant Mechanisms
18th Design Automation Conference: Volume 2 — Geometric Modeling, Mechanisms, and Mechanical Systems Analysis, 1992Abstract An energy approach is utilized to determine mechanical advantage in compliant mechanisms by duly accounting for lost work due to deformation. Three mechanical advantage types are then defined which examine the isolated influences of various parameters.

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 ...

Dynamical Limit of Compliant Lever Mechanisms
Journal of Mechanical Design, 2008The application of the mechanical energy conservation principle sets a dynamical limit to the performances of compliant lever mechanisms endowed with a positive definite strain energy. The limit applies to every linear compliant lever and is given as an upper bound on the product between the static effective gain of the device and its bandwidth.

On the Classification of Compliant Mechanisms
2008An intrinsic compliance of technical systems is often required in a lot of applications i.e. medical technology and man-machine interaction. This requirement can be realised constructively by utilisation of compliant mechanisms. This paper presents a classification of the deformation behaviour of compliant mechanisms to simplify their systematic ...

A compliant parallel mechanism for needle intervention
2013 35th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), 2013This paper presents a compliant mechanism for fine motion of a medical robot for needle intervention procedure. The concept of this mechanism is created with the purpose of correcting a needle axis by translating a main robot for needle driving when an unexpected slip happens in needle insertion.
