Abstract:In order to improve displacing devices, new methods for supporting a bimorph element with a double-support structure were investigated. Consideration of bending properties revealed that, when the bimorph element was bent, the cross-sections at both of the bimorph element's ends rotated. A double-support bimorph element with U-shaped metal plates at each end was designed, the result being used. It was found that the displacement for the double-support bimorph with U-shaped metal plates was approximately 4 times… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
