Compliant mechanisms are devices that deliver a desired motion by undergoing elastic deformation. A typical compliant mechanisms is called fully compliant mechanism. Owing to their serveral significant advantages relative to conventional mechanisms such as no backlash and friction
and no assembly
compliant mechanisms especially fully compliant mechanisms have been applied to many fields especially in MEMS. So research on compliant mechanisms and fully compliant mechanisms has been a hot issue in recent years. This paper firstly describes their concepts
characteristics and applications in MEMS. Finally several critical techniques and tendencies such as the analysis
design and fabrication of fully compliant mechanisms
selection and design of flexure hinge
selection
desgin and control of the actuator etc. are discussed.
