The ability of compliant mechanisms to efficiently transfer force and/or motion from points of application of input loads to desired points within the structure is used to design solid and tubular components that exhibit controlled deformation and collapse behavior under crash loads. cache/9p29086346c.txt txt/9p29086346c.txt
