| Abstract | Whereas the use of compliant mechanisms is favorable for high precision applications, the constraints must be dealt with carefully. In an overconstrained design the actual natural frequencies and stiffnesses can differ considerably from their intended values. For this reason the awareness and possibly the avoidance of an overconstrained condition is important. We have developed a kinematic analysis with which under-constraints and overconstraints can be detected. A finite element based multibody approach is applied which offers a flexible beam element that is particularly suited to model the wire and sheet flexures frequently encountered in compliant mechanisms. For each element a fixed number of independent discrete deformations are defined that are invariant under arbitrary rigid body motions of the element. In the kinematic analysis only deformations associated with low stiffnesses are allowed, whereas the remaining deformations are prescribed zero. A singular value decomposition is used to determine the rank of the Jacobian matrix associated with the dependent nodal coordinates. Column and row rank deficiency indicate an underconstrained and overconstrained system, respectively. For an overconstrained system a statically indeterminate stress distribution can be derived from the left singular matrix. In this way the overconstraints can be visualized clearly as is illustrated with examples of compliant straight guidance mechanisms. The possible solutions to eliminate the overconstraints are found easily from the visualization. |

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.
