Design of a novel parallel monolithic 3-DOF compliant micromanipulator

A three degrees of freedom (DOF) monolithic compliant parallel micromanipulator is presented. The research aim is to design a monolithic mechanism with capability of working in three translational axes and having high resonant frequency. A finite element analysis (FEA) model is developed to perform analysis and predict the behaviour of the mechanism, and thus establish the computational Jacobian, workspace and amplification ratio. Finally, the stress-strain relationship of the mechanism is investigated by applying safety factor and the results are presented.
