In mechanical systems, the importance of the correct application of design criteria must be observed in order to avoid failures related to fatigue, undesired deformations and wear that affect the precision of their displacements. For this reason, nowadays the development of mechanical devices based on compliant mechanisms is having an area of opportunity. This paper refers to the different methods and techniques (mainly those based on topological optimization) to address the inherent complexity of the development of complaint mechanisms, so it presents a review and analysis of the state of the art of the different methods that exist in the design of complaint mechanisms, to identify their limitations for the design in any engineering application.
