Modeling, Characterization and Control of a Novel Torsional Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) Actuator
Thermally activated shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators are direct-driven and produce high power density with design versatility. However, beyond their linear actuation in spring forms there is little variety and their application in robotics is limited by the challenging characterization of the actuator. In this paper we introduce a novel low-profile torsional SMA actuator design, and its compr...
متن کاملPreisach Model Identification of a Two-Wire SMA Actuator
In recent years, the Preisach hysteresis model has emerged as the model of choice for the behaviour of many smart materials, such as shape memory alloys (SMA). This research treats the identiication of Preisach models for a diierential SMA actuator. The traditional identiication technique is applied, and several models are derived for the actuator. It is seen that the classical Preisach model i...

متن کاملA new control system for fast motion control of SMA actuator wires
This paper describes a new motion control system for actuators based on antagonistic-pair arrangements of electrically-heated SMA elements. Two different controllers have been tested, both of them incorporating a new rapid heating strategy that greatly increases the rate at which the elements can be heated without risk of overheating. Essentially, the current applied to the element is the lesse...
متن کاملModeling of a new SMA micro-actuator for active endoscopy applications
Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) are good candidates to actuate endoscope heads but the cooling problem must be solved particularly in confined situations. For these reasons, a new SMA microactuator specially designed for active endoscopy applications has been developed in our laboratory. This work is a new step in the approach of using integrated thermoelectric cooling with SMA actuators. In fact, th...
