What is another word for flexures?
Pronunciation: [flˈɛkʃʊ͡əz] (IPA) 
Flexures, or flexible hinge-like structures, have several synonyms that can be used interchangeably in context. Some of these synonyms include folds, kinks, bends, curves, twists, turns, joints, pivots, and corners. Each of these words describes a specific type of flexion in a mechanical structure, but they can be used to describe any flexible bending or turning motion. When used in medical terminology, flexures refer to specific parts of the body that have a natural bending or folding structure, such as the elbows, knees, and hips. In mechanical engineering, flexures are often used in precision instruments, such as microscopes or cameras, to achieve precise movements without the need for traditional moving parts.
