Shape memory alloy flexures

Yves Bellouard, Reymond Clavel

Flexures are used in precision engineering where highly accurate, wear-free, smooth and repeatable motion is desired. Flexures are based on deformation of material to achieve a motion between elastically joined parts. They are used in a variety of precisio ...
