Abstract: Compliant mechanisms, unlike rigid-body mechanisms, gain some or all of their mobility from the flexibility of their members. Complaint mechanisms are desirable since they require fewer parts, ...

Abstract: An innovative methodology is presented for a set of synthesis problems in which the mobility angle between limit positions of a side link of a four-bar mechanism is necessarily prescribed. The ...

Abstract: Compliant mechanisms gain some or all of their mobility from the flexibility of their members rather than from rigid-body joints only. More efficient and usable analysis and design techniques ...
