Contributions to Design of Actuators functioning with Nitinol Active Springs
Journal Title: Analele Universitatii "Eftimie Murgu" Resita. Fascicula de Inginerie - Year 2015, Vol 22, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper presents the research results achieved in order to perform a comparison regarding the influence of natural and forced cooling proc-ess applied to the Nitinol active springs inside a linear motion actuator. SMAs offer attractive potentials such as reversible strains of several percent, generation of high recovery stresses and high power / weight ratios. The actuator behavior was simulated first with SolidWorks and experimentally tested for results validation.
