What is Joule Heating in a Microactuator Model about?
The document summarizes a model that simulates Joule heating of a microactuator. The model couples electric current physics to heat transfer physics. It defines the geometry of the actuator, applies material properties, and sets boundary conditions of grounding one end of the actuator arms, applying a voltage potential, and modeling heat transfer through conduction and convection. The results show the temperature distribution on the actuator increases due to resistive heating from the electric current.
