RISANFIS Driven Strain Control of Thin Shape Memory Alloy Wires Using Seebeck Voltage of a Shape Memory Alloy–Constantan Thermocouple
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators exhibit considerable hysteresis between the supply voltage (conventionally used in resistive heating) and strain characteristics of the SMA. Hence, it is not easy to control the strain ...
Experimental Implementation of Opposed Shape Memory Alloy Wires for Actuator Control
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are capable linear actuators. This research demonstrates the capabilities of SMA wires for the control of a pivot actuator. The wires impart opposing forces to control the motion of the pivot, ...
