Dynamic performance is of great importance to compliant mechanisms which are employed in dynamic applications, especially if the dynamic problems in DOC (degree of constraint) directions are to be met. An investigation on the dynamic characteristics of a 2R compliant mechanism is presented. Based on the substructure techniques, the in-plane dynamic model of the preceding compliant mechanisms is developed. The natural frequencies and sensitivities are then analyzed. The numerical result verifies the validity of the proposed method. Finally, optimal design of compliant mechanism is investigated.
