Abstract

This paper mentions a detail calculation of the equivalent dynamic parameters in differential equations of motion of the electrothermal V-shaped actuator. A heat transfer model for a thin beam (including the dependence of material properties on the temperature) is applied in order to solve more exactly temperature distribution and displacement of V-shaped beam system. Comparing the values of displacement in both calculation and simulation confirmed a higher accuracy of proposed equations. Moreover, a related formula between the minimum conversion stiffness and driving voltage amplitude is analyzed and examined to avoid the buckling phenomenon may occur in V-shaped beam system while working at a high voltage.
