A Study on High Speed Control Mechanism of Micro-Depth Using PZT Actuator [PDF]
The goal of this study is to develop a fast, controllable PZT-driven depth adjustment device with a flexure hinge. The device can be used to trace rapidly a flat or curved surface with several hundreds of micrometers’ variance in height.

On mechanical properties of planar flexure hinges of compliant mechanisms [PDF]
The synthesis of compliant mechanisms yield optimized topologies that combine several stiff parts with highly elastic flexure hinges. The hinges are often represented in finite element analysis by a single node (one-node hinge) leaving doubts on the ...

New empirical stiffness equations for corner-filleted flexure hinges [PDF]
This paper investigates the existing stiffness equations for corner-filleted flexure hinges. Three empirical stiffness equations for corner-filleted flexure hinges (each fillet radius, r, equals to 0.1 l; l, the length of a corner-filleted flexure hinge)

A Generic Compliance Modeling Method for Two-Axis Elliptical-Arc-Filleted Flexure Hinges
As a kind of important flexible joint, two-axis flexure hinges can realize in-plane and out-of-plane motions and can be used for constructing flexure-based spatial compliant mechanisms.

Approximate equations for circular hinge stiffnesses
Flexure hinges are widely used for very high precision mechanisms, such as a high precision linear guide, a nano positioning stage, a robot hand and etc., because of no gap and no friction. Regarding circular hinge stiffnesses, Paros and Weisbord derived

Design and performance comparison of double-series and triple-series flexure hinges
The flexible hinge is one of the most important components in lamina emergent mechanisms (LEMs), so the design of a new type of lamina emergent torsional (LET) joint can play a key role in its movement performance.
