| Summary: | Actuators are mechanical devices that convert a physical signal, such as an electric current, into a controllable and repeatable mechanical displacement. Because the laws of physics change their relative magnitudes in different orders of magnitude, it is not possiple to fabricate one of these devices by miniaturizing existing technology. In this thesis we will explore a new method for creating mechanical actuators, based on the properties of carbon-based nanomaterials. We will develop new equations to model the behavior of these new actuators, based on the mechanics of flexible materials. Finally, we will present the experimental work done up to this point, to create our own version of one of this devices, and we will propose an experimental method for preparing and testing a working mechanical actuator. |
