Analyze the large, nonlinear deflections of flexible members.
Failure
Analyze, predict and prevent failure of compliant mechanisms.
Force-Displacement Relationships
Analyze the force-displacement relationships for compliant mechanisms.
Task-Specific Design
Design compliant mechanisms for specified tasks.
