Resonant Self-Actuation Based on Bistable Microswitching

Resonant Self-Actuation Based on Bistable Microswitching

We present the design, simulation, and characterization of a magnetic shape-memory alloy (MSMA) film actuator that transitions from bistable switching to resonant self-actuation when subjected to a stationary heat source. The actuator design comprises two Ni-Mn-Ga films of 10 µm thickness integrated...
