About this model

This is a binary stiffness compliant mechanism. It can change between high and low stiffness configurations reversibly by toggling a bistable mechanism. It all has been integrated in a monolithic architecture such that it can be easily 3D printed. This device has been published as a research paper in the journal extreme mechanics letters with the title: "Monolithic binary stiffness building blocks for mechanical digital machines" If you are interested. It can be found through these links: 1. 2.
