Handbook of compliant mechanisms
TL;DR: Because compliant mechanisms are relatively new compared to more traditional devices, it is difficult to find examples and resources to guide the device designers in their work.

Utilizing a Classification Scheme to Facilitate Rigid-Body Replacement for Compliant Mechanism Design
TL;DR: In this article, a design approach is presented to convert an existing rigid-body mechanism into a compliant mechanism by using an established classification scheme, and two possible techniques that use rigid body replacement synthesis in conjunction with compliant mechanism classification scheme are presented.

A Proposed Extendable Classification Scheme for Compliant Mechanisms
TL;DR: In this paper, a classification scheme for compliant elements and mechanisms is proposed, which can be used to compose a reference source intended to help engineers find existing compliant designs they can incorporate in their own designs.
