“…In the 1960s, Paros and Weisbord et al [7] investigated circular flexure hinges. Nowadays flexure hinges with various notched profiles are designed by scholars, including circular [8,9], elliptical [10,11], parabolic [12], conic curve [13,14], corner-filleted [15,16], V-shaped [17,18], exponential sine [19,20], variable elliptical transverse cross-sections [21] and novel spatial helical [22] flexure hinges. To combine the advantages of various notch profiles, Lin [23] and Li [24] designed hybrid flexure hinges.…”
