The strain, stress and strain energy density of a vanadium dioxide (VO2)-based
microactuator were obtained from experimental curvature measurements as a function of
temperature. The study revealed fully reversible strain and stress changes of up to− 0.32%
and− 510MPa, respectively, and a maximum strain energy density of approximately 8.1×

The strain, stress and strain energy density of a vanadium dioxide (VO2)-based microactuator were obtained from experimental curvature measurements as a function of temperature. The study revealed fully reversible strain and stress changes of up to −0.32% and −510MPa, respectively, and a maximum strain energy density of approximately 8.1×105J/m3 through a temperature window of only 15°C. The method for obtaining the strain energy density in this work is more accurate than the ones presented previously in the literature. The obtained values were validated with a temperature-dependent solid mechanics finite element analysis simulation. Microactuator performance was also studied inside its hysteretic region through a series of heating and cooling cycles, providing a more complete performance analysis of the device properties.
