“…With the revolutionary changes in many fields, such as manufacturing, materials, information, biology, medicine, and national defense, caused by the wave of micro/nanotechnologies, compliant mechanisms have been widely used in the fields of micro/nano operations [1,2], nano-positioning stages [3,4], fast tool servos (FTSs) [5][6][7], and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMSs) [8,9]. Therefore, it is important to advance the development of the fundamental theory of compliant mechanisms and explore efficient design methods.…”
