Modal Analysis of a New Thermosensitive Actuator Design for Circuit Breakers Based on Mesoscale U-Shaped Compliant Mechanisms
A new mesoscale thermosensitive actuator design for circuit breakers based on a U-shaped compliant mechanism was introduced as a potential replacement for bimetal strips in miniature circuit breakers. In a previous study, the response of this design to the thermal fields produced by a steady current...
