In recent years, compliant mechanisms have drawn attention as innovative mechanisms to replace traditional rigid-rink mechanisms. Compliant mechanisms are mechanisms that utilize a structure's elastic deformation to achieve a specified motion instead of relying on joint movements. Such compliant mechanisms consist of a monolithic structure and, compared to rigid link mechanisms, have various advantages, so broad range of applications can be expected. In this research, we focus on a vehicle suspension system as a promising application of a compliant mechanism and develop a new method for designing compliant suspensions based on our two-stage compliant mechanism design method, which can consider several design requirements unique to a practical vehicle suspension system.
