An augmented formulation of distributed compliant mechanism optimization using a level set method
Topology optimization has emerged as one of the key approaches to design compliant mechanisms. However, one of the main difficulties is that the resulted compliant mechanisms often have de facto hinges. For this reason, a simple yet efficient formulation for designing hinge-free compliant mechanisms...
