This video is a raw unedited lecture about compliant mechanisms given by Professor Jonathan Hopkins at UCLA. This lecture provides the mathematical theory for modeling the stiffness and mass matrices of a general compliant mechanism that consists of rigid stages joined together by flexible elements (e.g., wires, blades, living hinges, nub flexures or any other element with a rectangular extruded geometry). The stiffness and mass matrices of a compliant mechanism allow engineers to model how to actuate the mechanism and calculate the mechanism's natural frequencies and mode shapes. • If you are interested in learning more about compliant mechanisms in a more entertaining and engaging way, be sure to see Prof. Hopkins’ Compliant Mechanism Design (Professional Video Series) playlist on this channel. • Additional course resources are posted to Professor Hopkins’ website: • www.flexible.seas.ucla.edu • A link to the paper that describes how to construct a stiffness matrix for a general interconnected hybrid flexure system is as follows: • https://asmedigitalcollection.asme.or... • Disclaimer: • Responsibility for the content of this video is my own.
