A Design Method for Flexure-Based Compliant Mechanisms on the Basis of Stiffness and Stress Characteristics
Geometric nonlinearities of flexure hinges introduced by large deflections often complicate the analysis of compliant mechanisms containing such members, and therefore, Pseudo-Rigid-Body Models (PRBMs) have been well proposed and developed by Howell [1994] to analyze the characteristics of slender...
