Abstract

In the world of globalization & competitive market there is demand of alternative designs with improved quality, economy & safety. Emerging designs of compliant mechanisms making noticeable contribution to economize cost of production. Compliant mechanism derives their mobility through deflection of flexible members opposite to the conventional rigid body mechanism. The integration of functions into fewer parts, compliant mechanisms offer significant advantages such as fewer parts, less wear, noise & backlash. Researchers expects this field will grow enormously due to advances in the compliant mechanism theory, development of materials with superior quality & advancement in 3D printing technology in the recent years. Recently many familiar examples of compliant mechanism are used in transportation, aerospace, micro-mechanism, biomedical, hand held tools, MEMS & robotics industry. The objective of the current work is to study compliant mechanisms & their applications in various fields communicated by various researchers.
