Effective Material Stiffness in Curved Actuators
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A new actuator effective material stiffness measurement method is created. It produces a new metric called shape actuation modulus with the potential to help design actuators. This method shows that the smaller the curvature of hinge‐shaped actuators, the stiffer they are.
