Topological synthesis of compliant mechanisms using multi-criteria optimization
TL;DR: In this paper, a new method for topological synthesis of single-piece compliant mechanisms is presented, using a "design for required deflection" approach, which handles motion and loading requirements simultaneously for a given set of input force and output deflection specifications.

Topology optimization of compliant mechanisms with multiple materials using a peak function material interpolation scheme
Luzhong Yin,G. K. Ananthasuresh +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a gradually formed continuous peak function is used for material interpolation in the topology optimization of compliant mechanisms, where stiff and flexible materials can be incorporated into the design without increasing the number of design variables.

On an optimal property of compliant topologies
TL;DR: In this paper, an optimal structural property for compliant topologies is presented for general multicriteria formulations that comprise the conflicting flexibility and stiffness requirements, and a one-variable search along the direction determined by the above optimal property is ensured that the converged solution is a minimum.

Comprehensive thermal modelling and characterization of an electro-thermal-compliant microactuator
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive thermal model for an electro-thermal-compliant (ETC) microactuator is presented, which accounts for all modes of heat dissipation and the temperature dependence of thermophysical and heat transfer properties.
