There is no doubt that the importance of decreasing maintenance
and having the same ability to achieve the same target with low
weight and no friction in nowadays artificial applications, is daily
increasing. Using flexural(also flexure) hinges in
a system, at least,
leads to all of that advantages. We are going to take a planar
mechanical system consisted of four bar mechanism and six bar
mechanism, with revolute, after that we replace each revolute joint
with super elastic hinge. Doing so we have a gate to build a system,
strongly recommended, to achieve the same goal using minimum
energy.
The main purpose of this research is to elaborate a mathematical
apparatus able to estimate the deviation of the considered system
before and after replacing revolute hinges taking into account the
real performance of the novel system through large bending
displacements in the flexure(flexural) hinges.
