title = "Understanding speed and force ratios for compliant mechanisms",
abstract = "Active, compliant mechanisms with powered joints and compliant, spring-based links are beneficial at reducing input loads and power requirements by changing both the speed and force ratios. In these mechanisms, the speed and force ratios are a function of mechanism geometry and the load applied to the output link. Both ratios are analysed for a classic slider crank linkage.",
