Quasi-static modelling of compliant mechanisms: application to a 2-DOF underactuated finger

In this paper, the kinematostatic and the quasi-static models of parallel mechanisms are applied to underactuated mechanisms. Both models are extended to the cases for which the actuated joints are not kinematically independent, and for which the external loads are function of the configuration of t...
