Abstract: Based on the pseudo-rigid-body model (PRBM), a new 2-Degree of freedom pseudo-rigid-body model with a prismatic pair is proposed. The axial displacement and lateral displacement is presented by the prismatic pair and revolute pair, respectively, and so the deflection of a compliant link subject to a combined force and moment loads can be simulated. The PR pseudo-rigid-body model of planar compliant mechanism is developed. A three-dimensional optimization for the characteristic radius factors and a linear regression method for the spring stiffness coefficients are presented. The advantage of the PR pseudo-rigid-body model is illustrated numerically through the comparison with the 1R, 2R PRBM models and compliant link.
