Abstract

Dynamic effects are very important to improving the design of compliant mechanisms. An investigation on the dynamic characteristics of compliant mechanisms is presented. The dynamic model of compliant mechanisms is developed at first. The natural frequencies and modes, elastic motion response, sensitivity analysis, and strain response of compliant mechanisms are then studied based on the dynamic model. Finally, the numerical results show the accuracy of the finite element method for dynamic modeling of compliant mechanisms, and the dynamic characteristics are illustrated clearly.
