Constrained Force Control of Shape Memory Alloy Actuators
Experimental results are presented to show that SMA actuators are able to control forces both rapidly and precisely. An antagonistic pair of constrained actuators is shown to be capable of rapidly changing the setpoint throughout a 7.00 N range. Although the system entered into a limit cycle at the setpoint, the limit cycle magnitude was small. The peak to peak amplitude of the limit cycles was...
متن کاملVariable Structure Control of Shape Memory Alloy Actuators
A novel Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuator consisting of several thin NiTi bers woven in a counter rotating helical pattern around supporting disks is rst described. This structure accomplishes a highly e cient transformation between force and displacement overcoming the main mechanical drawback of shape memory alloys, that being limited strain. Time domain open loop experiments were then conduc...
متن کاملShape 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 کاملA Morphing Wing used Shape Memory Alloy Actuators New Control Technique with Bi-positional and PI Laws Optimum Combination - Part 2: Experimental Validation
The paper represents the second part of a study related to the development of an actuators control system for a morphing wing application, and describes the experimental validation of the control designed in the first part. After a short presentation of the finally adopted control architecture, the physical implementation of the control is done. To implement the controller on the physical model...
متن کاملA Morphing Wing used Shape Memory Alloy Actuators New Control Technique with Bi-positional and PI Laws Optimum Combination - Part 1: Design Phase
The paper presents the design phase of the actuators control system development for a morphing wing application. Some smart materials, like Shape Memory Alloy (SMA), are used as actuators to modify the upper surface of the wing made of a flexible skin. The actuations lines control is designed and validated using a numerical simulation model developed in Matlab/Simulink. The finally adopted cont...
