Design and performance evaluation of thin-film actuators based on flexible Ni-Co substrates

Abstract This paper proposes a new design of bimorph-type electrothermal actuators based on flexible Ni-Co substrates and describes the results of the finite element method (FEM) simulation and performance evaluation of the actuators. In the design of the actuators, a multilayer structure consisting...
