ABSTRACT
The performance of two serpentine type springs is comparatively investigated. The first type
is composed of straight beams and the second one is composed of circular arcs. Based on
comparing calculation results and simulation data, the crab-leg spring model is appropriate
for evaluating the stiffness of springs. To obtain the operation mode to be the first mode,
the number of turns and the opening angle of springs should be increased. The performance
of springs is evaluated via analysis of mode coupling. This study is useful for choosing an
appropriate serpentine spring and the sti
