Surgical Applications of Compliant Mechanisms
Journal of mechanisms and robotics-Transactions of the asme, 2021 Current surgical devices are mostly rigid and are made of stiff materials, even though their predominant use is on soft and wet tissues. With the emergence of compliant mechanisms (CMs), surgical tools can be designed to be flexible and made using soft materials.

A modified pseudo-rigid-body modeling approach for compliant mechanisms with fixed-guided beam flexures [PDF]
Mechanical Sciences, 2017 In the present paper, we investigate a modified pseudo-rigid-body (MPRB) modeling approach for compliant mechanisms with fixed-guided beam flexures by considering the nonlinear effects of center-shifting and load-stiffening.

Mechanically compliant grating reflectors for optomechanics [PDF]
Applied Physics Letters, 2012 We demonstrate micromechanical reflectors with a reflectivity as large as 99.4% and a mechanical quality factor Q as large as 7.8 × 105 for optomechanical applications. The reflectors are silicon nitride membranes patterned with sub-wavelength grating structures, obviating the need for the many dielectric layers used in conventional mirrors.
