Abstract

The Library of Compliant Mechanisms has been organized to present compliant elements and designs in a simple and intuitive manner. The organization of the library is described. The classification scheme incorporates similar classification techniques used to categorize traditional rigid-body mechanisms, and classifies mechanisms according to their function, and includes the mechanism depiction and a concise description of its behavior. The purpose of the categorization is to show the reader how the library has been organized to efficiently access particular entries, or find entries that achieve particular functions. Two systems of categorizing compliant mechanisms were determined to be convenient for engineers: categorizing according to Elements of Mechanisms and Mechanisms.

Random access

Random access (more precisely and more generally called direct access) is the ability to access an arbitrary element of a sequence in equal time or any datum from a population of addressable elements roughly as easily and efficiently as any other, no matter how many elements may be in the set. In computer science it is typically contrasted to sequential access which requires data to be retrieved in the order it was stored. For example, data might be stored notionally in a single sequence like a row, in two dimensions like rows and columns on a surface, or in multiple dimensions.

Random-access memory

Random-access memory (RAM; ræm) is a form of computer memory that can be read and changed in any order, typically used to store working data and machine code. A random-access memory device allows data items to be read or written in almost the same amount of time irrespective of the physical location of data inside the memory, in contrast with other direct-access data storage media (such as hard disks, CD-RWs, DVD-RWs and the older magnetic tapes and drum memory), where the time required to read and write data items varies significantly depending on their physical locations on the recording medium, due to mechanical limitations such as media rotation speeds and arm movement.
