| Abstract | A new method for optimizing the dimensions of a nonlinear static balance mechanism has been created. A rigid link slider-crank mechanism with a nonlinear spring is designed to balance a compliant mechanism. This is accomplished by determining the potential energy of the compliant mechanism using finite element analysis and then optimizing the dimensions of the static balance mechanism to balance the potential energy stored in the compliant forceps. The optimization is performed using a sequential quadratic programming algorithm in Matlab’s optimization toolbox. It is seen that using higher order nonlinear springs results in a system that is better statically balanced. The mechanism that is statically balanced is a compliant forceps that has previously been designed for use in ophthalmic surgery. The compliant forceps stores energy when it creates motion, which then creates neutral positions of the mechanism with minimum potential energy. This situation is often unwanted in surgical situations. This paper uses the compliant forceps as an example of how to optimize the dimensions of a nonlinear static balance mechanism. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
