Design Study for An Electro-Thermally Actuator for Micromanipulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new design for a polymeric microgripper was developed. Two microgrippers with different dimensions were considered. An evaluation between these models was performed using the simulation results. Finite-element analyses of the microgripper, using COVENTORWARE, are performed in order to evaluate the relation between the displacement, temperatures and the electrical current passing through the metallic layers.

متن کاملIntegrated IPMC/PVDF sensory actuator and its validation in feedback control
Position and/or force feedback is critical in ensuring precise and safe operation of ionic polymer–metal composite (IPMC) actuators in io/micromanipulation. In this paper the design of an integrated sensory actuator is presented, where polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) films re used to provide simultaneous feedback of bending and force outputs of the IPMC actuator. The design adopts differential c...
متن کاملComputational Methods for the Design and Control of Microfabricated Actuator Arrays
Manipulation tasks with actuator arrays fabricated in MEMS (micro electro mechanical system) technology can be modeled by the theory of programmable force elds, which describes the forces generated by the actuators as planar vector elds. Given a task (e.g., unique positioning of a part) and a part geometry, we develop algorithms that automatically generate the corresponding manipulation plans a...
متن کاملApplication of the airflow control by electro-hydrodynamic actuator
The technique used to control the airflow is based on the electro-hydrodynamic actuator which is also called plasma actuator. This actuator ensures the airflow control thanks to the electric wind created by the electrical corona discharge. This ionic wind is developed at the profile surface tangential to the initial free airflow so that it has a significant effect on the boundary layer flow. Th...
