based on our model predictions. Beyond this power level this particular actuator begins to plastically deform, as seen in the flattening of the “power on” displacement curves in Figure 3-1. The plastic deformation is shown more clearly in Figure 3-2. Image a) shows the initial state of an unloaded…
