1. Plural of bimorph; structures or devices composed of two layers of material (such as piezoelectric crystals or metals) bonded together, which bend or deform when exposed to heat, electric current, or other stimuli.
Usage: technical; materials science and engineering

Examples

• Bimorphs are commonly used in actuators and sensors due to their responsive bending properties.
• The piezoelectric bimorphs in the device convert electrical signals into mechanical motion.
• Engineers designed bimorphs that bend when heated, making them useful for thermal switches.
• Cantilever bimorphs are frequently employed in energy harvesting applications.
