Compliant mechanisms

1. Prof. Ashok Midha's (the father of compliant mechanisms) personal page at the University of Missouri-Rolla. Prior to this, Prof. Midha did his pioneering work on compliant mechanisms at Penn State and Purdue universities.
2. Prof. Sridhar Kota's Compliant Systems Design Lab at the University of Michigan.
3. Prof. Noboru Kikuchi's personal home page at the University of Michigan. Prof. Kikuchi's reserch includes compliant mechanisms among many others in computational mechanics.
4. Prof. Larry Howell'sCompliant mechansms web page at Brigham Young University. This site has a good bibliography on compliant mechanisms in addition to a lot more.
5. Prof. Anupam Saxena's home page at Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India.
6. Prof. Mary Frecker's Optimal Design of Adaptive Compliant Structures Lab at Penn State.
7. Prof. Ole Sigmund's TOPOPT home page at Technical University of Denmark.
8. Prof. Laxman Saggere's Microsystems Mechanisms and Actuators Lab .

General research related useful web sites

1. Professor Ron Fearing's informative page at UC-Berkeley. Just click on bookmarks on his page for a wealth of links about robotics, MEMS, and more.
2. Professor Radha Sarma's page with lots and lots of good stuff and links on geometric modeling, MEMS, and more.
