Compliant Mechanisms for MEMS and Flexonics

2008 IEEE Conference on Robotics, Automation and Mechatronics, 2008
Summary 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 Shaking Force Balancing of Compliant Mechanisms

2019 7th International Conference on Control, Mechatronics and Automation (ICCMA), 2019
This paper is a first approach in finding design principles for the design of shaking force balanced compliant mechanisms. Shaking force balance means that the motions of the mechanism do not create any resultant dynamic reaction forces on the base, eliminating base vibrations.It is found that for a single balanced rotatable flexible link two stiffness

A compliant parallel mechanism for needle intervention

2013 35th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), 2013
This 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.

A generalized pseudo-rigid-body PPRR model for both straight and circular beams in compliant mechanisms

, 2020
The pseudo-rigid-body (PRB) models have been widely applied for modeling of straight beams in compliant mechanisms. In this paper, a generalized PRB PPRR model with two mutually perpendicular linear springs is established for both straight and circular ...

Mechanics of compliant structures

2005
Biological organisms must be structurally efficient. Hence it is not surprising that nature has embraced the compliant membrane structure as a central element in higher biological forms. This chapter discusses the unique challenges of modeling the mechanical behavior of compliant membrane structures.

Topology Synthesis of Large-Displacement Compliant Mechanisms

Volume 1: 25th Design Automation Conference, 1999
Abstract This paper describes the use of topology optimization as a synthesis tool for the design of large-displacement compliant mechanisms. An objective function for the synthesis of large-displacement mechanisms is proposed together with a formulation for synthesis of path-generating compliant mechanisms.

Optimal Synthesis of Topology for Compliant Mechanisms

Volume 14: Design, Systems, and Complexity, 2019
Abstract The aim of the present work is disclosing a model suitable to provide a new tool for the synthesis of mechanisms and structures. Firstly, a framework will be introduced for the representation of a particular class of mechanisms: compliant mechanisms.

Design of Distributed Compliant Mechanisms

Mechanics Based Design of Structures and Machines, 2003
Abstract 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.

On the Classification of Compliant Mechanisms

2008
An 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 ...
