Preface
Compliant mechanisms are flexible structures which can generate the desired motion by undergoing elastic deformation instead of through rigid linkage/joints as in rigid body mechanisms. It is suitable to be used in the fields of precision engineering especially in the fields of micro-manipulation and micro-positioning. The suitability is mainly due to the monolithic nature of compliant mechanisms which in turn gives rise to advantage such as no need for assemble, no friction/wear (and hence no need for lubrication), and no backlash. Over the past decades, methods for the design of compliant mechanisms have been developed and can be categorized into two general areas, pseudo-rigid body methods and topology design methods. Compared with the pseudo-rigid body methods, topology design methods have the advanta
