Stiffness-Oriented Structure Topology Optimization for Hinge-Free Compliant Mechanisms Design

This paper presents a stiffness-oriented structure topology optimization (TO) method for the design of a continuous, hinge-free compliant mechanism (CM). A synthesis formulation is developed to maximize the mechanism’s mutual potential energy (MPE) to achieve required structure flexibility while max...
