A Building Block Approach to the Conceptual Synthesis of Compliant Mechanisms Utilizing Compliance and Stiffness Ellipsoids
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we investigate a methodology for the conceptual synthesis of compliant mechanisms based on a building block approach. The building block approach is intuitive and provides key ...
An Instant Center Approach Toward the Conceptual Design of Compliant Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As with conventional mechanisms, the conceptual design of compliant mechanisms is a blend of art and science. It is generally performed using one of two methods: topology optimization or the ...
