Compliant mechanisms that use static balancing to achieve dramatically different states of stiffness
PR Kuppens, MA Bessa… - Journal of …, 2021 - asmedigitalcollection.asme.org
Stiffness in compliant mechanisms can be dramatically altered and even eliminated entirely
by using static balancing. This requires elastic energy to be inserted before operation, which …
