Design of Large-Displacement Compliant Mechanisms by Topology Optimization Incorporating Modified Additive Hyperelasticity Technique
This paper is focused on the topology design of compliant mechanisms undergoing large displacement (over 20% of the structural dimension). Based on the artificial spring model and the geometrically nonlinear finite element analysis, the optimization problem is formulated so as to maximize the output...
