چکیده
A novel flexure hinge named half circular-elliptical hybrid flexure hinge was presented. Based on Castigliano’s Displacement Theorem, the compliance equations of the novel flexure hinge were formulated. A computer aided analysis and parametric design program of the half circular-elliptical hybrid flexure hinge was developed by VC++6.0. A specific half circular-elliptical hybrid flexure hinge was designed simultaneously, and the similar results of theoretical calculation and finite element simulation were obtained which verified the correctness of the compliance equations. Furthermore, the performance of half circular-elliptical hybrid flexure hinges was analyzed, the results demonstrated a better comprehensive performance of half circular-elliptical hybrid flexure hinges.

متن کاملThe effect of the accuracies of flexure hinge equations on the output compliances of planar micro-motion stages
This paper presents the effect of the accuracies of flexure hinge compliance equations (the accuracies vary with a geometrical ratio, t/R of a hinge) on the output compliances of RRR and 3-RRR micro-motion stages. Closed-form output compliance models of the stages are derived (with flexure hinge compliances as one of the variables) to investigate the aforementioned effect. The output compliance...
