An Online Tool for Simulating Electro-Thermo-Mechanical Flexures Using Distributed and Lumped Analyses

We present an online tool that combines distributed and lumped analyses to simulate a microscale electro-thermo-mechanical actuator. Users may configure and run simulations over the web at nanoHUB.org with remote computation. Compared to pure distributed analysis, our hybrid analysis is nearly as ac...
