Compliant constant-force linear-motion mechanism

KA Tolman, EG Merriam, LL Howell - Mechanism and Machine Theory, 2016 - Elsevier
A fully compliant constant-force mechanism that uses an initially angled parallel-guiding
mechanism is proposed. A pseudo-rigid-body model (PRBM) of the mechanism is …

On topology design of compliant constant output/input force mechanisms with contact interactions

BVSN Reddy, VM Khatik, B Corves… - Mechanism and Machine …, 2023 - Elsevier
We seek monolithic topologies for constant output (CoFM) and input (CiFM) force
mechanisms using topology optimization. We capture large displacements, buckling, contact …
