Compliant mechanisms have become an important branch of modern mechanisms. Unlike
conventional rigid body mechanisms, compliant mechanisms transform the displacement …

Flexure-based compliant mechanisms are becoming increasingly promising in precision
engineering, robotics, and other applications due to the excellent advantages of no friction …

Flexure hinges hold several advantages over classical rotation joints, including no friction
losses, no need for lubrication, no hysteresis, compactness, capacity to be utilized in small …

In this paper, a concept of totally decoupling is proposed for the design of a flexure parallel
micromanipulator with both input and output decoupling. Based on flexure hinges, the …

To avoid complicated force control system in precision manipulation, compliant constant
force/torque mechanisms are proposed and developed continuously since the 1990s. The …

This paper reports the design, analysis and testing of a parallel two degree-of-freedom piezo-
actuated compliant stage for XY nanopositioning by introducing an innovative hybrid …

This paper reports the design and development processes of a totally decoupled flexure-
based XYZ parallel-kinematics micropositioning stage with piezoelectric actuation. The …

This paper presents the design, modeling, and test of a novel normal-stressed
electromagnetic (NSEA) compliant nano-positioning stage. The stage has a concise …

This paper focuses on the design and analysis of a novel flexure-based mechanism which is
capable of performing planar motion with three degrees of freedom (3-DOF). This …

Multifarious flexure-based displacement amplifiers have been proposed and studied in the
past decades, showing importance in many industrial fields, such as bioengineering, optical …
