Cross-Axis Flexural Pivots in Mechatronic Applications: Stress-Based Design for Combined Tension and Bending

Cross-axis flexural pivots (x-pivots) hold immense promise as precise, frictionless bearing elements in mechatronic systems. In real-world settings, where bearings are called upon to bear nontrivial loads orthogonal to the axis of rotation, kinematic and stiffness-based design approaches are insuffi...
