Fatigue testing of flexure hinges for the purpose of the development of a high-precision micro manipulator [PDF]
An approach was initially proposed for the estimation of the maximum von Mises stress in flexure hinges. It relied on recognizing relevant stress factors that were calculated from empirical functions set up by using the finite element method. Afterwards,

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.

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.

Parametrical Analysis of Elliptic Flexure Hinges [PDF]
The model of parallel-oriented compliant mechanism was established. Analysis of parameters for elliptic flexible hinge plane compliant mechanisms was illustrated. The relationships between the system frequency and the flexible hinges shapes, geometry parameters, material parameters were discussed by numerical examples.
