HISTORY

Steel is a favorite for hinges of all types. It is relatively cheap, strong, and

durable. Its evolution from outcast to ordinary, however, is anything but

common. Early civilizations initially eschewed iron, the basic component

of steel, since it requires extremely high temperatures (2800 F) to melt in

its pure form.

Brass is typically used inside, for cabinet hinges and interior door

hinges, though it could also be used for a front door hinge. Brass hinges

are generally thicker than steel hinges, will wear better and look more

polished as well.

INTRODUCTION

Nature makes much use of elastic hinges: skin, muscle,cartilage all allow large, recoverable deflections.Man, too,

designs with flexure and torsion hinges: devices which

connect or transmit load between components while

allowing limited relative movement between them by

deflecting elastically . Which materials make good hinges?

Function Elastic hinge

Constraint No failure,meaning

TRANSLATIONConsider the hinge for the lid of a box. The box, lid and

hinge are to be moulded in one operation .The hinge is

a thin ligament of material which flexes elastically as the

box is closed, as in the figure, but it carries no

significant axial loads. Then the best material is the one

which (for given ligament dimensions) bends to the

smallest radius without yielding or failing. When aligament of thickness t is bent elastically to a radius R,

the surface strain is

TRANSLATION

Fig. 1 Elastic or 'flexure' hinges. The ligaments must bend

repeatedly without failing.

and, since the hinge is elastic, the maximum stress is

This must not exceed the yield or failure strength f . Thus the radius

of ligament can be bent without damage is

The best material is the one that can be bent to the smallest

radius, that is, the one with the greatest value of the index

Materials for

elastic hinges.

Elastomers are

best, but may

not be rigid

enough to meet

other design

needs. Then

polymers such

as nylon, PTFE

and PE are

better. Springsteel is less

good, but much

stronger.

SELECTION

The criteria both involve ratios f and E; we need Chart1.Candidates are identified by using the guide line of slope 1; a line is

shown at the position M = y/E = 3 *10e-2 . The best choices for the

hinge are all polymeric materials.

The shortlist includes polyethylenes , polypropylene, nylon and, best

of all, elastomers, though these may be too flexible for the body of the

box itself.

Cheap products with this sort of elastic hinge are generally moulded frompolyethylene, polypropylene or nylon.

Spring steel and other metallic spring materials (like phosphor bronze)

are possibilities . table gives further material.

Material M(*10e-3) Comments

polyethylene 32 Widely used for cheaphinged bottle caps ,etc

polypropylene 30 Stiffer than polyethylene

;easily molded

nylon 30 Stiffer than polyethylene

:easily molded

PTFE 35 Very durable; more

expensive than PE,PP ,etc.

elastomers 100-1000 Outstanding but low

High strengthcopper alloy

4 M less than polymer ; usewhen high tensile stiffness is

required

Spring steel 6 Same like high strength

copper alloy

POSTSCRIPT

Polymers give more design-freedom than metals. The elastic

hinge is one example of this, reducing the box, hinge and lid

(three components plus the fasteners needed to join them) to

a single box hinge-lid, moulded in one operation.

Another is the elastomeric coupling - a flexible universal joint,

allowing an exceptionally high angular, parallel and axial

flexibility with good shock absorption characteristics.
