	Optoelectronic assembly having a flexure that supports multiple optical elements - Patent 6886993
		In one embodiment, the flexure is attached (e.g., welded) to a portion of the interior of the package as part of the pick and place mounting method, and the alignment of the optical component is adjustable in three dimensions.
		In one embodiment, the two-legged flexure 132 is approximately 0.17 mm thick and flexing spring regions 202 are approximately 0.08 mm thick.
		Flexure legs 322 and 321 may be curved, such as with a radius 323, to allow the leg free ends to slide on a contact surface with the application of a vertical force during the alignment process.

	WESSEL: REEXAMINATION OF HAWAIIAN FLEXURE
		Walcott [1970] argued that the Hawaiian Deep and Arch were produced by flexure of an elastic plate fractured along the line of the island chain and estimated the flexural rigidity to be of the order of 1023 Nm.
		We have determined the 3-D flexural deformation of a broken plate under a two-dimensional load trending at 30 to the fracture and crossing it.

	Equine Podiatry \| Dr. Stephen O'Grady, veterinarians, farriers, books, articles
		Flexure deformities have been traditionally referred to as "contracted tendons." Since tendons lack the ability to contract, the primary defect is a shortening of the musculotendinous unit rather than a shortening of just the tendon portion, making the descriptive term "flexure deformity" the preferred one.
		Congenital flexure deformities are characterized by abnormal flexion with inability to extend the joints of the distal limb are present at birth.
		Since, in this case, the flexure deformity is secondary to discomfort, the source of any lameness that accompanies a flexure deformity should be investigated with physical evaluation, local anesthesia and radiographs.

		The HELI-CAL Flexure is a flexible helix (curved) beam machined from one piece of material into a specific configuration that incorporates special design requirements, performance features or characteristics.
		When used as a spring, the flexure provides desired and precise elastic performance in compression, extension, torsion, lateral bending and lateral displacement modes.
		Used as a flexible coupling or u-joint, the flexure utilizes its curved beam to transmit torque while compensating for lateral, axial, and angular misalignment movements.

	GSAOI flexure analysis
		The flexure budget analysis can be simplified by claiming that the worst case scenario for an element in the system is when it rotates by 15° from a zero flexure position.
		Although the titanium tine flexure was not a part in the overall flexure budget it very important to identify this flexure since it represents the largest deformation in the whole instrument.
		These flexures are not part of the instrument flexure budget but they can influence “in-focus” flexures and cause that the ideal telescope focal plane inside the instrument does not correspond to the real focal plane.

	Double Short Flexure Type Orthotic Ankle Joints - Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics, 1990 \| American Academy of ...
		As a flexure is repeatedly bent through its angular range-of-motion, the bending and unbending (or reverse bending) stresses subject the flexure to "fatigue." If the peak values of the fatigue stresses are great enough, a fatigue crack will be nucleated and will grow until the flexure fails.
		For a given flexure material, length and angular range-of-motion, peak bending fatigue stresses are proportional to the thickness (cross-section dimension in the direction of motion) of the flexure.
		The pre-manufactured flexure units are positioned in the desired locations under the snug-fitting hosiery which is pulled over the plaster model prior to covering with hot polypropylene sheet (Figure 12).

	Flexure Gauges - Digital and Analogue
		The Solartron Flexure Gauge is a compact measuring device, which is based on a parallelogram for the ultimate in precision and long life.
		Range stops are provided to prevent over stressing the flexure and the high stiffness in the plane normal to the measurement axis means that repeatability and life are maintained in the presence of side loads.
		Digital versions allow the non-linearity of the flexure motion to be corrected during the calibration process, so that the output is a linear function of displacement.

	Nanopositioning Devices Design Details Including Benefits of Kinematic Mounting and Flexure Stages F
		Flexure stages employ a non-conventional 'flexure bearing' mechanism in the system, in which the moving platform is linked to a static base by flexure hinges.
		Optimization of the flexure design mechanism results in high stiffness and load capacity while simultaneously neutralizing the parasitics errors, such as out-of-plan motion, titling errors and crosstalk.
		Flexures do not experience frictional wear and operate within the elastic range of the material eliminating the need for routine maintenance while performance remains consistent over the operational lifetime of the stage.
