Abstract: This paper proposes an approach to investigate associations between design concepts and design outcomes. In the proposed approach, three deliverables (concept sketches, proofofconcept (POC) prototypes, and final products) ...

Abstract: This paper provides an efficient method of analysis for a fixedguided compliant beam with an inflection point, subjected to beam end load or displacement boundary conditions, or a combination thereof. To enable this, such ...

Abstract: Traditionally, the deflected configuration of compliant segments is determined through rigorous mathematical analysis using Newtonian mechanics. Application of this approach in evaluating the deformed configuration of ...
