Characterization of Magnetic Shape Memory Alloys (MSMA) oriented to periodic actuation
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a study of Magnetic Shape Memory Alloy (MSMA) performances oriented to the design of a hydraulic pump. Its main properties, high strain and force under small response time requirement, have been recently improved via acoustic assistance by means of piezoelectric actuation. This research encloses a novel study in MSMA actuation technology regarding force and power mechanical exchanges and power consumption. The aim of this paper is to discuss the convenience of using MSMA technology in driving autonomous hydraulic robot power units.

Magnetic 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 کاملThe Properties of the Magnetic Shape Memory Alloy Actuator
Components made of alloys with a magnetic shape memory (MSMA) are not commonly used in industrial systems or prototype solutions. The reasons behind this include the cost and implementation difficulties attached to MSMA alloys synthesis technology. The article presents the results of a prototype actuator in which the active element is a rod made of Ni-Mn-Ga alloy and with dimensions of 2x1x20 m...

Magnetically controlled shape memory alloy (MSMA) is a new functional material which is found in recent years. The material can produce large induced strain by magnetic field, and has fast dynamic response, high efficiency of electromagnetic-mechanical conversion and excellent controllability. High strains of 10-15% for MSMA materials with different structure are achieved [1, 2]. The complete f...

The deformation range, forces and frequency of the Magnetic Shape Memory Alloys (MSMAs) render them suitable for applications in electro-mechanical transducers, used to control pneumatic valves. A fast-operating electro-mechanical transducers can be designed, whose driving elements should not execute any motion, as they do in valves available to date, and which should get deformed instead. Util...
متن کاملMagnetic field-induced reversible actuation using ferromagnetic shape memory alloys
This paper presents a simple method to examine whether a ferromagnetic shape memory alloy can be used as an actuator by controlling the transformation temperature by magnetic field. Both Fe–Pd and NiAlCo alloys are studied. The analysis results show the recently discovered alloy of NiAlCo cannot be used. Although an Fe–Pd alloy can be used, in principle, for magnetic field actuation, the work e...
