Elasto-Kinematics and Instantaneous Invariants of Compliant Mechanisms Based on Flexure Hinges

The kinematic synthesis of compliant mechanisms based on flexure hinges is not an easy task. A commonly used method is the equivalent rigid model, which involves replacing the flexure hinges with rigid bars connected with lumped hinges using the already known methods of synthesis. This way, albeit s...
