High-tech equipment critically relies on flexures for precise manipulation and measurement.
Through elastic deformation, flexures offer extreme position repeatability within a limited …

Nachgiebige Mechanismen (NM) sind in technischen Anwendungen aufgrund ihrer Vorteile
weit verbreitet. Die Berechnung des Verformungsverhaltens unter dem Einfluss äußerer …

In topology optimization, the state of structures is typically obtained by numerically
evaluating a discretized PDE-based model. The degrees of freedom of such a model can be …

Real-world structural optimisation problems involve multiple loading conditions and design
constraints, with responses typically depending on states of discretised governing …

The paper deals with compliant mechanisms with a variable stiffness behavior. Devices with
such a behavior are getting more and more attention in recent years, especially in contact …

Once it is designed, the stiffness of a compliant mechanism is not intended to be changed in
order to adapt to special operation conditions. Nevertheless, various operation tasks eg …
