Bending analysis of a single leaf flexure using higher-order beam theory

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

We apply higher-order beam theory to analyze the deflections and stresses of a cantileveredsingle leaf flexure in bending. Our equations include shear deformation and the warping effect in bending.
The results are compared with Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theory, and are verified by finiteelement analysis (FEA). The results show that the higher-order beam theory is in a good agreement with theFEA results, with errors of less than 10%. These results indicate that the analysis of the deflections andstresses of a single leaf flexure should consider the shear and warping effects in bending to ensure highprecision mechanism design.
