This paper presents a variable parametric pseudo-rigid-body model for large-deflection beams with end loads. The values of the applied load (P) and joint stiffness are expressed in terms of its kinematic parameters. The accuracy of the expressions is excellent with correlation coefficients of (0.999) and (0.995) the new model is used for the analysis of two compliant mechanisms with different modes of analysis.
