To calculate the displacement of an inclined beam-type electrothermal microactuator
a multiphysics coupling model was established based on the electro-thermal and thermo-mechanical analysis. The thermal structure was analyzed
and the output displacement formula was obtained using the force method. For the purpose of proving the accuracy of the model
a comparison was performed. The comparison shows that the theoretical results of temperature profile and output displacement are in agreement well with the results of Finite Element Analysis(FEA) and experimental measurements. Finally
the output displacement repeatability and reproducibility were measured and the main factors influencing the output displacement of the microactuator were analyzed. Obtained results indicate that the ratio of length to width and the angle of the inclined beam are main influence factors on the output displacement and the different MEMS processes have obviously effects on the output displacement of the microactuator. Experimental results also show that the maximal displacement of the microactuator is 0.85 m and 2.3 m under the voltage of 18 V and 9 V
which means the relative errors with the results of theoretical calculation are 2.2% and 12.8% respectively. The above analysis indicates that the theoretic calculation values are coincident well with the measured values and the formulas deduced from the inclined beam-type electrothermal microactuator are logical
which can provide theoretical supports for the design and calculation of electrothermal microactuators.
