Extensible-Link Kinematic Model for Determining Motion Characteristics of Compliant Mechanisms

We present an extensible-link kinematic model for characterizing the motion trajectory of an arbitrary planar compliant mechanism. This is accomplished by creating an analogous kinematic model consisting of links that change length over the course of actuation to represent elastic deformation of the...
