Deduction of Angular and Linear Deflection Equations of Elliptical Flexure Hinge

Article Preview

Abstract:

Flexure hinge is widely used in the field of MEMSElliptical flexure hinge with the advantages and little disadvantage of rectangular and circular notch, has broad prospect in the field of MEMS and NEMSAccording to the basic theory of material mechanics and calculus, angular stiffness and linear deflection was deduced on the elliptical flexure hinge, and the analytical equations are attainedAt the same time, angular and linear deflection of right elliptical flexure hinge, which is popular used flexure hinge, is presentedEquations of right elliptical flexure hinge, is exact and more concise in expression than that of Smith, so it is more convenient to use it in calculating and analyzing elliptical flexure hinge and elliptical flexure hinge mechanisms
