Compliant mechanisms, as a novel type of mechanical systems, utilize the elastic deformation of the built-in elementary flexible members to transfer motion, force and energy. Due to their inherent advantages, CMs have been widely used in various mechanical applications. However, in the current literature, researchers still suffer from the lack of efficient tools and a comprehensive analysis framework for designing CMs. To more systematically and efficiently analyze CMs for application-oriented purposes, this thesis aims to propose a comprehensive methodology of designing, modeling, optimizing and controlling CMs. Detailed derivations have been presented on the aforementioned perspectives, followed by both numerical and experimental validation.
