Design Of Two-Axis Displacement-Amplifying Compliant Mechanisms Using Topology Optimization

This thesis deals with the design of two-axis displacement-amplifying compliant mechanisms (DaCMs) using topology optimization. The two-axis compliant mechanisms considered here are XY positioners and two-axis inertial sensors. A building block approach, with several single-axis DaCMs as building bl...
