..., cross-axis flexural pivot, and pre-curved flexible beam. The I-CORE incorporates a bilinear compressive stiffness response with an initial tailorable stiffness governed by the flexural geometry, followed by a stiffness curve governed by the material stiffness at the contact point. The I-CORE mechanism...

...Simone Serafino; Luca Bruzzone; Pietro Fanghella; Matteo Verotti Cross-axis flexural pivots are increasingly implemented in mechanical systems due to their high precision and wide range of motion. However, designing high-performance pivots in terms of low-axis drift, low rotational stiffness...
