This article proposes a formula for calculating the nonlinear displacement of the electrothermal V‐shaped actuator aims to determine more accurately its displacement. The nonlinear displacement model is established based on the axial deformation of V‐beams with two fixed ends. Hence, the theoretical displacements of a particular V‐shaped actuator (i.e. dimension as beam length of 750 μm; beam width of 6 μm; beam thickness of 30 μm; inclined angle of 2°) are compared with the simulation and experimental results. The evaluation shows that our calculation error compared with the simulation and experiment is less than 5% and 12.4%, respectively. This confirmed the advantages of the proposed formula according to the nonlinear displacement model. This work provides a theoretical model for predicting more precisely the displacement of a V‐shaped actuator. The advantage of this model is that it will significantly reduce the time in the design and trial manufacturing process.
