    This document is a homework assignment for an engineering class that includes 5 questions about analyzing the behavior of a chevron-shaped thermal actuator made of poly-Si. Students are asked to: 1) Plot displacement vs length change for various actuator angles; 2) Indicate transitions between displacement ranges on the last plot; 3) Identify the best actuator angle; 4) Plot coefficient of thermal expansion vs temperature from a reference; and 5) Explain why there is no constant temperature gradient. Graduate students have an extra credit question to provide examples of Duffing oscillator applications using jump phenomena with citations.

    All Students

    Due date: April 16, 2014

    Solve the following when considering a chevron type thermal actuator made of isotropic poly-Si with a leg length, Lo = 750 m. 1) Plot the total displacement, !T, versus the legs length change, "L, for # = 1o, 10o, 20o, 30o, 40o, 50o, 60o, 70o, 80o, 90o. (# is the angle between L and Lo) 2) Indicate the transition from big to small values of "L on the last plot for each value of #. 3) Based on your results from the first two questions, what is the best value for #? Justify your answer. 4) Plot the coefficient of thermal expansion coefficient as a function of temperature based off the equation from the Okada, JAP 1984 reference. 5) Why is there not a constant temperature gradient across the length of the beam? Graduate Students (Extra credit for undergrads) 1) Give three examples of systems where a Duffing Oscillator might be used. These examples should make use of the jump phenomenon. Use the literature at your discretion; be sure to cite any article whose material you use.
