Ring-Based Stiffening Flexure Applied as a Load Cell With High Resolution and Large Force Range

This paper applies linear elastic theory and Castigliano's first theorem to design nonlinear (stiffening) flexures used as load cells with both large force range and large resolution. Low stiffness at small forces causes high sensitivity, while high stiffness at large forces prevents over-strai...
