Abstract
Elliptical flexure hinges are one of the most widely used flexure hinges for its high flexibility. To design elliptical flexure hinges of best performance, the author proposed a modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO) search method, where an exponentially decreasing inertia weight is deployed instead of a linearly decreasing inertia weight. Simulations indicate that the MPSO method is very effective. The optimal design parameters including the cutout configuration and the minimum thickness are obtained.
