Pseudo-Rigid-Body Models for Approximating Spatial Compliant Mechanisms of Rectangular Cross Section

The objective of the dissertation is to develop and describe kinematic models (Pseudo-Rigid-Body Models) for approximating large-deflection of spatial (3D) cantilever beams that undergo multiple bending motions thru end-moment loading. Those models enable efficient design of compliant mechanisms, be...
