ABSTRACT
The constraint-based design of flexure mechanisms
requires a qualitative and quantitative understanding of the
constraint characteristics of flexure elements that serve as
constraints. This paper presents the constraint characterization
of a slender, uniform and symmetric cross-section, spatial
