Modeling of Thin Layer Extensional Thermoelectric Sma Actuators
As a rst step towards the design of a high frequency, high force, large strain shape memory alloy(SMA) actuator, we model in this work a thermoelectrically cooled thin SMA layer linear actuator. The SMA is subjected to cyclic phase transition between the martensitic and austenitic phases by alternate heating/cooling, achieved with the thermoelectric Peltier e ect of a pair of P/N semiconductors...
متن کاملThermoelectric Shape Memory Alloy Actuators and the Issue of Thermomechanical Coupling
In this work, we model a thermoelectric shape memory alloy(SMA) actuator as part of a research effort to design high-force, high-frequency SMA actuators. Cyclic phase transformation in a SMA layer is achieved by alternately heatinglc6oling using the thermoelectric Peltier effect. The thermal and mechanical fields during phase transformation are, in general, highly coupled and the extent of this...
متن کاملImproving the Response of SMA Actuators
Shape memory alloy (SMA) based actuators have a number of attributes which make them useful for robotic applications. Unfortunately their response is relatively slow, being limited by the speed with which the SMA can be heated and cooled. This paper describes two novel developments of the basic SMA actuator which improve dynamic performance. To allow rapid heating of the shape memory alloy wire...
متن کاملThermomechanical Characterization of a TiPdNi High Temperature SMA under Tension
The focus of this paper is the study of tensile work characteristics and the transformation behavior of a High Temperature Shape Memory Alloy (HTSMA) by thermomechanical characterization at temperatures ranging from 200 to 500°C. In order to investigate the above issues, a nominal composition of Ti50Pd40Ni10 HTSMA was used. The alloy was fabricated using a vacuum arc melting technique. The melt...
متن کاملON THE ROLE OF THERMOELECTRIC HEAT TRANSFER IN THE DESIGN OF SMA ACTUATORS: THEORETICAL MODELING AND EXPERIMENT By
A combined theoretical/experimental study of the heat transfer in thermoelectric Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuators is undertaken in this paper. A one-dimensional model of a thermoelectric unit cell with a SMA junction is developed rst and the transient temperatures in the SMA are evaluated for di erent applied electric current densities. As a rst step towards the design of an actuator, a therm...
