Topology Optimization Design of Multi-Input-Multi-Output Compliant Mechanisms with Hinge-Free Characteristic and Totally Decoupled Kinematics

A new multi-constraint optimization model with the weighted objective function is proposed to design the multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) compliant mechanisms. The main feature of this work is that both the two notable problems related to the de facto hinge and the movement coupling are tackled simul...
