32、nd only the deformation around one axis is consid-ered.However,other members of the mechanism except thehinges are assumed as rigid bodies,and their deformations areneglected.The compliance CD1is defined as the compliance ofpoint O1with respect to the ground point D.All the limbs andhinges are conne

33、cted in serial or parallel,as shown in Fig.3(b).For the purpose of calculating the compliance of the stage,thecompliance of every flexure hinge with respect to the groundCDican be derived byCDi=TDiCi?TDi?T(1)where the transformation matrix takes on the following form:Tji=?RjiS?rji?Rji0Rji?.(2)where

34、Rjiis the rotation matrix of coordinate Oiwith respect toOj,rjiis the position vector of point Oiexpressed in referenceframe Oj,and S(r)represents the skew-symmetric operator fora vector r=rx,ry,rzTwith the notationS(r)=0rzryrz0rxryrx0.(3)Considering the symmetrical structure and arrangement ofthe a

35、ctuators in the stage,we can assume that both the inputforce and output force will pass through the central pointA of the mobile platform so as to simplify the calculation.The virtual conceptual point A and point D will be at thesame place when no forces are applied to the XY stage orthose forces do

36、 not result in any deformations.For calculatingthose compliances of each limb,the stiffness KL1=CL11is defined as the compliance of the limb from O1 O2withrespect to D.Similarly,we can obtain the stiffness KL2,KL3,KL4,KL5,KL6,KL7,and KL8as follows:KL1=CL11=?CD1+CD2?1KL2=CL21=?CD5+CD6?1KL3=CL31=?CD9+
