Abstract :
A novel possibility of accurate control of position is proposed, based on the thermoelastic effect. This paper presents the relevant device together with its complete mathematical model and methodology of its numerical solution. The theoretical analysis is supplemented with the description of the basic operation characteristics of the device.
