Additional information
Although lots of work surrounding electrothermal actuators has been reported previously, their dynamic behaviour (thermal and mechanical) has not been fully understood. An interesting finding is: the cold beam of the electrothermal actuator is not only a mechanical constraint, but also a compensator for increasing the thermal response of the whole structure. Experimental case study was also presented in this article.
