Flexure hinges hold several advantages over classical rotation joints, including no friction losses, no need for lubrication, no hysteresis, compactness, capacity to be utilized in smallscale applications, ease of fabrication, virtually no assembly, and no required maintenance. Compliant Mechanisms: Design of Flexure Hinges provides practical answers to the present and future needs of efficient design, analysis, and optimization of devices that incorporate flexure hinges. With a highly original approach the text:Discusses new and classical types of flexure hinges (single, two and multipleaxis) for two and threedimensional applicationsAddresses a wide range of industrial applications, including micro and nanoscale mechanismsQuantifies flexibility, precision of rotation, sensitivity to parasitic loading, energy consumption, and stress limitations through closedform compliance equationsOffers a unitary presentation of individual flexure hinges as fullycompliant members by means of closedform compliance (spring rates) equationsFully defines the lumpedparameter compliance, inertia and damping properties of flexure hingesDevelops a finite element approach to compliant mechanisms by giving the elemental formulation of new flexure hinge line elementsIncorporates more advanced topics dedicated to flexure hinges including large deformations, buckling, torsion, composite flexures, shape optimization and thermal effectsCompliant Mechanisms: Design of Flexure Hinges provides practical answers and directions to the needs of efficiently designing, analyzing, and optimizing devices that include flexure hinges. It contains readytouse plots and simple equations describing several flexure types for the professional that needs quick solutions to current applications. The book also provides selfcontained, easytoapply mathematical tools that provide sufficient guidance for realtime problem solving of further applications.
