Research Focus
We develop computational models and theoretical foundations for motion analysis, linkage synthesis, geometric constraints, and the structure of mechanical systems.
- Screw-theory-based approaches for mobility analysis and type synthesis of compliant mechanisms.
- Reduced physical and mathematical models of compliant elements, including pseudo-rigid-body models and stiffness/compliance matrices.
- Kinetostatic synthesis theory that unifies kinematic and static reasoning in compliant-mechanism design.
