On Modeling the Bending Stiffness of Thin Semi-Circular Flexure Hinges for Precision Applications

Compliant mechanisms based on flexure hinges are widely used in precision engineering applications. Among those are devices such as precision balances and mass comparators with achievable resolutions and uncertainties in the nano-newton range. The exact knowledge of the mechanical properties of notc...
