This paper describes a human finger model driven by shape memory alloy(SMA) wires. The finger model has three joints that are similar to human finger. Each joint is actuated with two wires in the antagonistic manner and six wires are used to actuate three finger joint. In order to obtain the desirable finger motion, the diameters of the SMA wires are designed with different diameters by considering the required actuating force and response time. The rotary sensors are used to measure the angle positions of the joints and PWM control using PID algorithm is used to achieve desired angle positions of the finger joints. After estimating the control performance of each finger joint for the desired angle position, the antagonistic motion control of the finger model is experimentally evaluated.

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.

This paper demonstrates the feasibility of Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuators in controlling the motion of micro active catheter. The dynamic behavior of SMA is obtained by several experiments for the design of the controller. With the control parameters obtained in experiments, temperature feedback control algorithm is proposed and realized. The prototype of micro active catheter is fabricated, and its control performance which uses the designed controller is investigated. The results obtained show the potential of the SMA as viable means for actuating the micro active catheter.

Thermo-mechanical behavior and mechanical properties of intelligent polymer matrix composite with SMA fiber are experimentally studied. It is found that increments of compressive thermal strain is observed as the pre-strain and TiNi volume fraction increase. The smartness of the SMA is given due to the shape memory effect of the TiNi fiber which generates compressive residual stress in the matrix material when heated after being prestrained. In the paper, alloy is based on the general purpose commercial code ANSYS. And for the purpose of easy and fast user's analysis, it is developed the Graphical User Interface by using Tcl/Tk language.

In this paper, single fiber pull-out test is used to measure the interfacial bonding shear strength of $Ti_{50}-Ni_{50}$ shape memory alloy composite with temperature. Fiber and matrix of $Ti_{50}-Ni_{50}$ shape memory alloy composite are respectively $Ti_{50}-Ni_{50}$ shape memory alloy and epoxy resin. To strengthen the interfacial bonding shear stress, various surface treatments are used. They are the hand-sanded surface treatment, the acid etched surface treatment and the silane coupled surface treatment etc.. The interfacial bonding shear strength of surface treated shape memory alloy fiber is greater than that of surface untreated shape memory alloy fiber by from 10% to 16%. It is assured that the hand-sanded surface treatment and the acid etched surface treatment are the best way to strengthen the interfacial bonding shear strength of $Ti_{50}-Ni_{50}$ shape memory composite. The best treatment condition of surface is 10% HNO$_3$ solution in the etching method to strengthen the interfacial bonding shear strength of $Ti_{50}-Ni_{50}$ shape memory alloy composite.

In SMA(Shape Memory Alloy), the degradation by fatigue is one of the most important problems to be overcome, when SMA is used for robot-actuator materials. The actuator is operated repetitively for long time and its repeating operation develops the fatigue degradation of SMA. The fatigue degradation changes the transformation temperature and deformation behavior and results in inaccurate operation and deformation which results form repeating operation is to be investigated in advance and the scheme to resolve those problems have to be made for the design of actuator. In this paper, for the improvement of the fatigue degradation by repetive movement and better control of the correct movement by the stability of martensite transformation in the development of Robots actuator, Pre-strain(0, 1.5, 5, 8%) are loaded in the specimens and fatigue testing were carried out by the method of heating and cooling in direct condition. From the results of these experiments, the effect on pre-strain which affect the transformation characteristic and fatigue degradation phenomena were correctly investigated.

본 글에서와 같이 SMA 작동기는 전류 압력만으로 유연 구조물 시스템의 형상 이나 전동을 제어할 수 있으므로 작동기의 구조를 매우 간단히 할 수 있으머, 또한 작동기의 무게에 비하여 큰힘이나 변위를 제어할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 이를 이용 하여 각종 제조분야 및 첨단 항공우주 산업에 이르기까지 매우 다양한 분야에 응용이 가능하다. 그러나, 현재 우리나라의 경우 SMA에 대한 연구는 미미한 상태이다. 새로운 SMA 재료와 이를 응용한 매카니즘에 대한 연구와 개발이 절실하며 이를 위한 과감한 투자가 요구된다. 또한 정확하고 견실한 제어를 위하여 SMA 작동기의 다양한 특성을 보다 심도있게 파악하고, 강건한 제어기를 적용하여 외부 환경의 영향을 최소화하는 연구가 필요하다. 나아가서 제어 메카니즘의 구동 장치 등의 적용을 위한 이방향성 SMA의 특성과 제어기법에 대한 연구도 병행해서 수행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.
