In this article, a novel fully compliant spherical four-bar mechanism is introduced and its generalized design methodology is proposed. The original fully compliant mechanism lies on a plane at the free position (undeflected ...

This thesis combines the knowledge base of the Compliant Mechanism (CM) with the Constant Force Mechanism (CFM) based upon previous works, which initiate and trigger the key principles of design techniques and simplification ...

The aim of this study is to introduce a novel compliant mechanism that has constant force characteristics. Maximizing the constant force stroke and minimizing the force fluctuation are the main objectives. The proposed ...

Transmission angle is an important parameter in defining quality of motion and force transmission of a mechanism. However, there is only one study available in the literature which is the transmission angle of a compliant ...
