Flexures

Elements of Elastic Mechanisms

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The purpose of this title is to present to the reader some basic flexure geometries and the analytic models, whereby they may be assessed for specific design applications. Integration of these to produce useful mechanisms for precise motion control with fast dynamic response ocupies a considerable portion of this text.
