New empirical stiffness equations for corner-filleted flexure hinges

This paper investigates the existing stiffness equations for corner-filleted flexure hinges. Three empirical stiffness equations for corner-filleted flexure hinges (each fillet radius, <i>r</i>, equals to 0.1 <i>l</i>; <i>l</i>, the length of a corner-filleted fle...
