An Elliptic Integral Solution to the Multiple Inflections Large Deflection Beams in Compliant Mechanisms

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a solution based on the elliptic integrals is proposed for solving multiples inflection points large deflection. Application of the Bernoulli Euler equations of compliant mechanisms with large deflection equation of beam is obtained ,there is no inflection point and inflection points in two cases respectively. The elliptic integral solution which is the most accurate method at present for analyzing large deflections of cantilever beams in compliant mechanisms.
