A Bimorph Moment/Force Actuator for Dynamic Testing

This paper focuses on a novel bimorph actuator which can produce pure moment or pure force to structures under testing. Due to its unique construction, this actuator is only sensitive to one translational and one rotational degree of freedom (DOF), which can be further decoupled from each other thro...
