TY  - JOUR
AB  - Linear algebra methods for determining modes of kinematic and static indeter-minacy in jointed frames are extended to reveal modes of compliance in oth-erwise  rigid  assemblies.   These  modes  are  extracted  from  a  structural  model,based on  nite elements, via a singular value decomposition and yield the waysin which a structure can be most easily deformed.  This modal approach alsoallows for the formulation of a reduced-order structural model, whereby relevantmodes are selected and used as the basis for the optimisation of a complaintstructure.   The  method  detailed  is  shown  to  be  a  useful  design  tool,  demon-strated by its application to a structure based on the Kagome lattice geometry.For certain frameworks,  rst order e ects produce tightening under actuation.As a result, a scheme to adjust the modes to take nonlinear e ects into accountis also given.
