Visualization of the modified flexure geometry. As opposed to a regular circular flexure, the region of bending here has a very large radius \(R_{\text{m}}\) over the flexing length \(L_{\text{m}}\), with the characteristics \(R_{\text{m}} \gg L_{\text{m}}\). It has a minimal notch height \(h_{0}\) and a width w. \(R_{\text{a}}\) smoothens the transition from the bending region to the stiff part of the notch flexure
