Abstract
A novel compliant translational double exact dwell mechanism incorporating the buckling motion of an initially straight flexible member as its members is introduced. This partially compliant five bar mechanism consists of two rigid links as the crank and the slider, and two flexible links as the coupler and last link. The emphasis is placed on the dynamic response of the double exact dwell motion profiles. The simulation results are studied using Solidworks, Matlab and Comsol. The working principles and the conceptual contribution of the mechanism are also verified from the prototype experimentally.
