Pseudo-rigid-body Models

Pseudo-Rigid-Body Models is a modeling approach in mechanical engineering that approximates the behavior of compliant mechanisms by representing flexible segments as rigid links connected through revolute joints with lumped torsional springs, thereby enabling the application of rigid-body mechanics to analyze and synthesize systems with distributed compliance.
