Shape Memory Alloy Actuator (SMA)

Article Preview

Abstract:

Our article deals with the possibility of using shape memory material (SMA − Shape Memory Alloy) to create an actuator of the mechanical element. The biggest advantage of the SMA actuators compared to those made of conventional materials is that they have the ability to generate relatively great force, are of low weight and small size.
