Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethodology of Compliant Mechanisms and its Current Developments in Applications: A ReviewSolehuddin Shuib, M.I.Z. Ridzwan, A. Halim KadarmanTraditional rigid-body mechanisms consist of a number of components to implement their functions. Therefore they face problems such as backlash, wear, increase in part-count, weight, assembly cost and time, regular maintenance. Reducing these problems will help in increasing mechanism performance and cost reduction. Recently, there are several examples of compliant mechanisms that have been designed and widely used in various … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,676 accessesView PDFCite
