Abstract: This paper presents forward and inverse analyses of the response of a compliant link actuated by a discretely attached shape memory alloy (SMA) wire subjected to a time-varying input voltage. ...

Abstract: For discrete actuation with shape memory alloy (SMA) wires, the actuation moment can be controlled by changing the amount of wire offset. Increasing offset not only enhances the actuating moment, ...

Abstract: The present study examines the behavior of particulate rubber–sand mixtures (PRSM) due to the replacement of sand with fly ash. Particulate rubber (PR) of different gravimetric proportions (, 1, 3, 5, and 1%) is mixed with ...
