Fatigue testing of flexure hinges for the purpose of the development of a high-precision micro manipulator
An approach was initially proposed for the estimation of the maximum von Mises stress in flexure hinges. It relied on recognizing relevant stress factors that were calculated from empirical functions set up by using the finite element method. Afterwards, a fatigue test bench was designed and realize...
