Finite Element Analysis, Simulation and Experimental Investigation for Epoxy Laminated Lattice Structure Embedded with SMA Wires

Article Preview

Abstract:

The simulation analysis for deflection angle of an epoxy laminated lattice structure embedded with varied number of SMA wires with increasing temperature is carried out by using commercial FEM software Ansys. The actual bending behavior of laminated lattice structures is discussed and compared with simulation results. The comparison results obtained in this paper can be used for practical applications of thermo mechanical behavior of laminated SMA actuators.
