Abstract:
In the current paper, report the detailed thermomechanical analysis of a polymeric thermal actuator integrated in a microelectromechanical systems microgripper, is reported. The inclusion of an actuator design which eliminates completely the parasitic resistance of the cold arm improves considerably the thermal efficiency of the system and enables large displacements at lower input voltages and operating temperatures than reported previously. Two different microgrippers built using a trilayer polymer/metal/polymer combination of SU8/gold/SU8 have been modelled, fabricated, and tested. As oppos

The paper presents a theoretical and experimental investigation of a thermo-mechanical model of an actuator composed of a shape memory alloy wire arranged in series with a bias spring. The developed mathematical model considers the dynamics of the actuator in the thermal and mechanical domains. The modelling accuracy is increased through the developed algorithm for modelling the minor and sub minor hystereses, thus removing the disadvantages of the classical model. The algorithm improves the accuracy, especially when using pulse-width modulation control, for which minor and sub minor hysterese

The work reported here was aimed at improving the practical efficiency of the model-based development and integration of electromechanical actuators.
