V-Beam Thermal Actuator’s Performance Analysis Using Digital Image Correlation

Abstract:

This paper analyses the influence of the V-beam thermal actuator’s geometrical parameters on its mechanical behavior. Experimental measurements were performed using Digital Image Correlation (DIC), which is a gray scale value tracking algorithm that evaluates the position shift of a pixel between at least two images taken at different deformation stages. These results are compared to multi-physics simulation data obtained using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) as well as to analytical values based on the electro-thermal and thermo-mechanical presented models.
