Approximate equations for circular hinge stiffnesses

Flexure hinges are widely used for very high precision mechanisms, such as a high precision linear guide, a nano positioning stage, a robot hand and etc., because of no gap and no friction. Regarding circular hinge stiffnesses, Paros and Weisbord derived exact solutions, but they are unwieldly becau...
