[en] This report is devoted to the elastic response of hyperbolic notch hinges. Circular, elliptic and parabolic notch hinges have been treated in ealier reports. The adopted step is the same : firstly, for each fundamental load case, the analytical solution is developed in the frame of the classical beam theory ; from this, the asymptotic solution for very narrow hinges is produced ; thirdly, a correction factor is defined, which relates the exact theory to the asymptotic one ; finally, and this is perhaps our main originality, simple but very fair approximations of these correction factors are presented.
