Zusammenfassung: | Disclosed is a thermo-mechanical actuator comprising a piezo-electric module, the piezo-electric module comprising at least one piezo-electric element, wherein the thermo-mechanical actuator is configured to receive a thermal actuation signal for controlling a thermal behaviour of the piezo-electric module, or provide a thermal sensing signal representative of a thermal state of the piezo-electric module. The thermo-mechanical actuator is configured to receive a mechanical actuation signal for controlling a mechanical behaviour of the piezo-electric module, or provide a mechanical sensing signal representative of a mechanical state of the piezo-electric module. And wherein the thermal actuation signal is configured to create a heat flux within the piezo-electric module and wherein the mechanical actuation signal is configured to deform the piezo-electric module. |
