Abstract

An example for such an application are notched monolithic flexure hinges (cf. Fig. 1), which are analyzed within a larger project for the construction of micro-manipulators at RWTH Aachen University. During the bending of such hinges, the rim zone of the notch is undergoing high tensile strain. In order to predict the operating functionality, the microstructural damage introduced by W-EDM cutting therefore needs to be known in dependence of the cutting parameters.
