Monolithic flexure mount
Abstract
A flexure mount is described herein. The flexure mount includes three different flexures laterally offset from one another along a length of the flexure mount. The flexured design of the flexure mount allows for compliance in certain directions to reduce stress buildup normally associated with rigid mounting of dissimilar materials under dynamic thermal environments.
