... Exploring flexure hinges continues to be an interesting and challenging technical problem. All kinds of single-, two-, and multiple-axis flexure hinges with a straight central line have been developed for use in compliant mechanisms [ 1 , 2 ]. Design examples of straight-axis flexure hinges include conic...
