Design, modeling and integration of compliance into systems that enable performance which is impractical to obtain via rigid mechanisms.
static1.squarespace.com·153.8 KBAbstract: We describe our research in kinematic synthesis of planar mechanical sys- tems based on configuration space manipulation.
In this research, we investigate the definition of ESL for flexible MBS formulated on a Lie group. The. Lie group theory offers several advantages for the ...
Compliant mechanisms are monolithic mechanical devices that achieve motion through the elastic deformation of their flexible joints. These systems exhibit no ...
A compliant mechanism derives its motion from the deflection of its constituent members. Compliant mechanisms offer decreased part count, decreased complexity, ...
Howell's work on compliant mechanisms has revolutionized the design and fabrication of a wide range of products, from micro-robotics to industrial automation.

SUMMARY. A finite element based method is presented for evaluation of linearized dynamic equations of flexible mechanisms about a nominal trajectory.
This paper presents an approach to design a linear variable-stiffness mechanism (LVSM) with adjustable zero-to-infinite stiffness. The idea is to use circular ...
