Innovative designs such as morphing wings and terrain adaptive landing systems are examples of biomimicry and innovations inspired by nature, which are actively being investigated by aerospace designers. Morphing wing designs based on Variable Geometry Truss Manipulators (VGTMs) and articulated helicopter robotic landing gear (RLG) have drawn a great deal of attention from industry. Compliant mechanisms have become increasingly popular due to their advantages over conventional rigid-body systems, and the research team led by the second author at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) has set their long-term goal to be exploiting these systems in the above aerospace applications. To gain a deeper insight into the design and optimization of compliant mechanisms and their potential application as alternatives to VGTM and RLG systems, this study conducted a thorough analysis of the design of flexible hinges, and single-, four-, and multi-bar configurations as a part of more complex, flexible mechanisms. The investigation highlighted the flexibility and compliance of mechanisms incorporating circular flexure hinges (CFHs), showcasing their capacity to withstand forces and moments. Despite a discrepancy between the results obtained from previously published Pseudo-Rigid-Body Model (PRBM) equations and FEM-based analyses, the mechanisms exhibited predictable linear behavior and acceptable fatigue testing results, affirming their suitability for diverse applications. While including additional linkages perpendicular to the applied force direction in a compliant mechanism with N vertical linkages led to improved factors of safety, the associated increase in system weight necessitates careful consideration. It is shown herein that, in this case, adding one vertical bar increased the safety factor by 100N percent. The present study also addressed solutions for the precise modeling of CFHs through the derivation of an empirical polynomial torsional stiffness/compliance equation related to geometric dimensions and material properties. The effectiveness of the presented empirical polynomial compliance equation was validated against FEA results, revealing a generally accurate prediction with an average error of 1.74%. It is expected that the present investigation will open new avenues to higher precision in the design of CFHs, ensuring reliability and efficiency in various practical applications, and enhancing the optimization design of compliant mechanisms comprised of such hinges. A specific focus was put on ABS plastic and aluminum alloy 7075, as they are the materials of choice for non-load-bearing and load-bearing structural components, respectively.
