Mobility and structure re-configurability of compliant mechanisms

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The paper discusses mobility and structure re-configurability of compliant mechanisms. Instantaneous mobility of compliant mechanisms is first analyzed using the normalized compliance matrix through a screw representation. The stiffness variability for a compound basic parallelogram mechanism and a bistable mechanism (a pair of inclined beams), is then investigated for describing mobility re-configurability. The structure re-configurability is finally demonstrated by a compliant parallel gripper (CPG) using the new position space concept.
