Shape Memory Alloy Actuator forBio-medical application
In this paper various applications of shape memory alloys (SMA) in bio-medical field based upon their material properties are discussed, and a novel SMA spring actuator design for biopsy is proposed. Design parameters such as spring configuration, wire diameter required for designing the actuator were defined and obtained through experiments. Finally, itconcludeswith the possibility of using SM...
متن کاملA bidirectional shape memory alloy folding actuator
This paper presents a low-profile bidirectional folding actuator based on annealed shape memory alloy sheets applicable for mesoand microscale systems. Despite the advantages of shape memory alloys—high strain, silent operation, and mechanical simplicity—their application is often limited to unidirectional operation. We present a bidirectional folding actuator that produces two opposing 180 mot...
متن کاملMagnetic Shape Memory Alloy and Actuator Design
In the field of micromechatronics, microrobotics and specially microfactories, active materials are used in most cases. They permit high resolution and distributed actuation. In this area, Magnetic Shape Memory Alloys (MSMA) are possible candidates. If a lot of studies deal with MSMA, only few applications use them until now. MSMA are attractive active materials because they have large strain (...
متن کاملOptimal Design of a Shape Memory Alloy Actuator for Microgrippers
In this paper, a modular microactuator based on shape memory alloy (SMA) actuation to drive the joints of a microgripper is described. Its design is a combination of two SMA actuators installed on the links of a special mechanism : one of them drives the rotation of the joint and the other one produces the necessary force to manipulate objects. An accurate model of the thermo-mechanical behavio...
متن کاملShape Memory Alloy Actuator Controller Design for Tactile Displays
This paper describes the design of a controller for a tactile shape display for dexterous telemanipulation applications. This device consists of an array of pin elements which rest against the human finger tip. Shape memory alloy (SMA) wire actuators raise individual pins to approximate the desired surface shape on the skin. To overcome the slow response times of SMA actuators we have implement...
