Universal Design of Compliant Mechanisms Based on Design Optimization Method

本文提出了一种考虑通用设计理念的柔性机构设计方法。基于北卡罗莱纳州立大学课题组提出的通用设计原则，提出了几种可定量评价的设计准则，并利用这些设计准则提出了柔性机构设计的优化问题。采用数值优化技术得到最优设计构型。

In this research, a design methodology for of compliant mechanisms considering universal design concept was developed. Several design criteria that can be quantitatively evaluated are proposed based on universal design principles which were proposed by a research group in North Carolina State University, and a design optimization problem for design of compliant mechanisms is formulated using the design criteria. Numerical optimization techniques were utilized to obtain optimal design configuration.
