Behavior Analysis of a Flexure Hinge Array [PDF]
Compliant mechanisms have been well designed to reach an ultra-high accuracy in positioning systems. However, the displacement of compliant mechanisms is still a major problem that restricts practical applications. Hence, a new flexure hinge array (FHA) is proposed to improve its displacement in this article.

Research on a Novel Flexure Hinge [PDF]
A novel single axis flexure hinge named hyperbolic flexure hinge is introduced as new designs in two-dimensional monolithic mechanisms. Based on the Castigliano's second theorem, Closed-form equations are formulated for compliances to characterize both the active rotation and all other parasitic motions.
