A procedure to obtain a topology of an optimal structure considering flexibility is presented. The methodology is based on a mutual energy concept for formulation of flexibility and the homogenization method. A multi-objective optimization problem is formulated as an application of compliant mechani

A linear elastic response is assumed in most structural topology optimization problems. While this assumption is valid for a wide variety of problems, it is not valid for structures undergoing large displacements. The elastic structural analysis used here accommodates geometric and material non-line
Instead of using the concepts of minimum compliance or maximum mutual compliance, alternative formulation, based on functional speciยฎcation is proposed to solve for topology of compliant mechanism. Among mechanical advantage, geometrical advantage and work ratio, one of the functional speciยฎcations
