“…Based on the aforementioned, the task feasibility measure is the Z-value (24), which is a maximum of the z-value calculated from (23) for each required f − δ point. This measure can be used to find feasible and optimized configurations for the V shape actuator, as shown in the next parts.…”

“…Other heating modes are also possible, such as convection with a proximity parallel layer [3], using light or directive laser [4, 5], or with the environment temperature [6, 7] (for temperature sensing).The design of actuators in general is more robust and accurate when it relies on accurate models. Several models were proposed for the V shape actuator in the literature using numerical [8][9][10][11] and analytical [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] approaches. The advantage of the analytical modeling is in the better understanding of the actuator behavior and the influence of the different parameters on its performance.…”

This paper investigates the modeling, design, and task feasibility of V shape electrothermal actuators. In the first part, the force-deflection governing expressions are derived and the actuator performance is analyzed based on these expressions. The influence of the actuator dimensions and properties on its performance is clarified. In the second part, the task feasibility is further investigated. A performance measure is proposed for evaluating the capacity of the actuator to accomplish required tasks depending on the application. This measure is used for finding a feasible configuration and optimized design. A case study is finally presented, showing very good agreement between analytical model and finite element simulations, and demonstrating the robustness of the task feasibility measure.
