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 کاملA Control System For Achieving Rapid Controlled Motions From Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) Actuator Wires
Acknowledgements There are many who have made contributions, both directly and indirectly to the completion of this thesis. I would like to name a few. First of all, I would like to sincerely thank my supervisor, Dr. Roy Featherstone, whose help has been enormous and whose enthusiasm has sparked my own in this wonderful work. His ideas and suggestions had frequently created jigsaw puzzles with ...
متن کاملDevelopment of Multi-Fingered Prosthetic Hand Using Shape Memory Alloy Type Artificial Muscle
A new prosthetic hand with a fixed thumb and four fingers actuated by Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) type artificial muscle has been developed in this paper. Different from typical geared motor, SMA actuator is lightweight and silent, however shows a little short stroke and small attracting force per each unit. In order to achieve enough output force and motion range of each finger, multiple SMA type...
