ME 404 - Compliant Mechanisms


Credits: 3

The purpose of this course is to teach students to 1 synthesize compliant devices, 2 model their force-deflection behavior, 3 utilize pseudo-rigid-body models and 4 predict component failure. Models of the kinematics of compliant mechanisms will be reviewed and their physical limitations such as fatigue limits will be examined. This information will be used to design monolithic mechanisms for real-world applications.

Prerequisites: ME 356
