         Problem 4.15
             A bimorph  is  constructed of two  different  materials,  having
                                                                      Find the
          thicknesses   when           and             The  tip  slope       is
         produced by a temperature increase of

         Answer:



         Problem 4.16
             A  bimorph is formed of two  layers, the  active  one being piezomagnetic
         and the substrate being polysilicon. Find the length of the bimorph when a tip
         bloc force  of     needs to be produced with an induced strain
         Known are


         Answer:


         Problem 4.17
             A bimorph  sensor is  formed  of  a  piezoelectric layer attached to  a
          structural polysilicon layer of given thickness   Determine the variation
          in  the external field when a  tip  deflection of   is measured  optically.
          The following parameters are known:

          Problem 4.18
             A bimorph with dissimilar-length components utilizes thermal expansion
          for temperature  change  detection.  Find the temperature variation   when a
          tip deflection  of        is  measured  experimentally. Known  are  the
          following  amounts:



          Answer:


          Problem 4.19
              A three-layer multimorph is constructed to function as a thermal actuator.
          Determine the tip deflection that this actuator is capable of producing under a
          temperature increase of        It is known that
