This paper presents a simulation study on the description of the motion and the control of an active catheter actuator with multi-link structure actuated by Shape Memory Alloy(SMA). The model of an active catheter adopted in this paper has 3 links, and the individual links are composed of 3 micro coils of SMA for the omni-directional motion. In order to analyze the motions of multi-link structure, 3-dimensional kinematics description is presented. Also, the motion control of the end point of an active catheter using simple Neural Network is shown based on GUI(Graphic User Interface) system.

This paper presents vibration and position tracking control of a smart structure using shape memory alloy(SMA) actuators. A governing equation of motion of the proposed structure is obtained via Hamilton's princeple. The dynamic characteristics of the SMA actuator are experimentally identified and incorporated with the governing equation to furnish a control system model. Subsequently, a sliding mode controller which has inherent robustness to external disturbances is formulated on the basis of the sliding mode conplacement, and also for the position tracking control of desired trajectories with low-frequency sine and square waves.

Two-way shape memory effect(TWSME) under residual stresses are considered in the present study. The structure using two-way shape memory effect concept returns to its initial shape by increasing or decreasing temperature under the initially given residual stress. In the present study, we use a thermo-mechanical constitutive equation of SMA and laminated composite beam are considered as simple morphing structural components which are based on large deformable 2D composite beam theory. Numerical results of fully coupled SMA-composite structures are presented.

본 논문은 형상기억합금 와이어에 의해 구동되는 점핑로봇에 대한 연구로서 기구의 설계와 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 포함하고 있다. 인간과 같은 척추동물 하지 근골격계의 구조와 기능을 모방한 구조의 점핑 기구를 설계하였다. 점핑 기구의 각 다리는 대퇴부, 정강이, 발의 세 부분으로 구성되고, 점핑에 필수적인 단일관절근육인 대둔근, 양관절근육인 대퇴직근과 비복근을 포함하는 구조이다. 각 근육을 형상기억합금 와이어로 대체한 컴퓨터 모델로 시뮬레이션한 결과, 로봇의 최대 점핑 높이가 로봇 신장의 약 4 배임을 확인하였다. 또한 구조가 보다 단순화된 로봇 모델과 점핑 성능을 비교하였고, 그 결과 근골격계를 모방한 모델이 점핑 높이 면에서 3.3 배 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 형상기억합금이 소형 점핑로봇의 작동기로 사용하기에 적합함을 확인하였다.

A structure using the two-way shape memory effect (TWSME) returns to its initial shape by increasing or decreasing temperature under initial residual stress. Through the thermo-mechanical constitutive equation of shape memory alloy(SMA) proposed by Lagoudas et al., we simulate the behavior of a double actuator in which two SMA wires are attached to the tip of panel under the initially given residual stress. Through the numerical results conducted in the present study, the proposed actuator device is suitable for repeated actuation. The simulation algorithm proposed in the present study can be applied extensively to the analysis of the assembled .system of SMA-actuator and host structure in the practical applications.

본 논문에서는 형상기억합금 구동기를 이용한 소형위성용 비폭발식 분리장치를 소개한다. 앞선 연구결과를 바탕으로 분리장치의 부품의 교체를 통하여 제안된 분리장치의 신뢰성을 향상시킴으로써 고사전하중(preload) 하에서도 구동이 가능하도록 하였다. 또한 충격 실험을 통하여 비폭발식분리장치의 장점인 저충격 발생을 확인하였고, 발사환경 및 우주 환경실험을 통하여 안정적으로 작동하는 것을 검증하였다. 결론적으로 본 연구에서는 충격실험, 진동실험 및 열진공실험 후 고사전하중에서 저충격을 발생시키며 안정적으로 작동 가능한 비폭발식 분리장치를 개발하였다.

In this work, we propose a new type of HDD suspension featuring shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator in order to prevent the contact between the slider and disk. The principal design parameters are obtained from the modal analysis using finite element analysis, and then the dynamic model is established to formulate the control scheme for Non-Contact Start/stop mode drive. Subsequently, a robust H$\_$$\infty$/ control algorithm is designed by integrating experimentally-Obtained SMA actuator dynamics to the proposed HDD suspension system. The controller is empirically realized and control results for the load/unload profiles are presented in time domain. In addition, the contact signal between the slider and disk is measured by the electrical resistance method.

This paper presents a robust force tracking control of a small-sized SMA gripper with two fingers using shape memory alloy(SMA) actuators. The mathematical governing equation of the proposed system is derived by Hamilton's principle and Lagrangian equation and then, the control system model is integrated with the first-order actuator dynamics. Uncertain system parameters such as time constant of the actuators are also included in the control model. A robust two degree of freedom(TDF) controller using H$_{\infty}$ control theory, which has inherent robustness to model uncertainties and external disturbances, is adopted to achieve end-point force tracking control of the two-finger gripper. Force tracking control performances for desired trajectories represented by sinusoidal and step functions are evaluated by undertaking both simulation and experimental works.

In this paper, the thermomechanical responses of shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators and their applications as the shape adaptive structures combining SMA actuators produced in the form of strip with composite structures are investigated. The numerical algorithm of the 3-D SMA thermomechanical constitutive equations based on Lagoudas model is implemented to analyze the unique characteristics of SMA strip. Also, the incremental SMA constitutive equations are implemented in the user subroutine UMAT by using ABAQUS finite element program. The shape change of structure is caused by initially strained SMA strip bonded on the surface of the composite structure when thermally activated. Numerical results show that SMA strip actuator can generate enough recovery force to deform the composite structure and sustain the deformed shape subjected to large external load, simultaneously.
