Shape memory alloy actuators and their reliability
We have developed two types of shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator and estimated the long-term reliability of SMA microcoils. A tube type tip articulator consists of 4 sets of SMA microcoil (wire diameter: 0.125 mm, coil diameter: 0.5 mm) for driving source and super elastic alloy (SEA) microcoils (wire diameter: 0.1 mm, coil diameter: 0.5 mm) for bias springs, support plates and flexible outer t...
متن کاملRobot assisted facial expressions with segmented shape memory alloy actuators
This paper introduces a robotic technology-based supporting device, the robot mask, to enhance facial expressiveness and support physiotherapy for facial paralysed persons. The wearable device, which consists of shape memory alloy (SMA)-based linear actuators, functions by pulling the facial skin towards anatomically selected directions. Since facial expressions are silent, SMA was selected ove...
متن کاملDesign of membrane actuators based on ferromagnetic shape memory alloy composite for the synthetic jet actuator
A new membrane actuator based on our previous diaphragm actuator was designed and constructed to improve the dynamic performance. The finite element analysis was used to estimate the frequency response of the composite membrane which will be driven close to its resonance to obtain a large stroke. The membrane is made of ferromagnetic shape memory alloy (FSMA) composite including a ferromagnetic...
متن کاملExperimental Study on the Magnetomechanical Characteristics of Ni-Mn-Ga Ferromagnetic Shape Memory Alloy Single Crystals
Magnetic shape memory properties of Ni-Mn-Ga single crystals were characterized by measurement of stress-induced martensite reorientation under constant magnetic fields. Also magnetic field-induced strain as a function of the applied magnetic field under different constant compressive stress levels has been investigated. All the experiments were performed at room temperature in which the sample...
متن کاملShape Memory Alloy and Elastomer Composite MEMS Actuators
A process for fabrication of shape memory alloy MEMS actuators on a elastomeric polymer substrate is described. These actuators are designed for use on innovative soft body robots. Patterned shape memory alloy (nitinol) is sputter deposited on a polyimide mesh structure. The mesh substrate acts as a bias spring to de-twin the shape memory alloy in the martensite phase. Significant portions of t...
