In this paper, a study on the development of expert system for Al matrix composite with shape memory alloy fiber is performed to evaluate termomechanical behavior and mechanical properties. Expert system is very useful computer-based analysis system designed to make analysis technique and knowledge conveniently available to a lot of fabricable condition. In the developed system, it is possible to predict termomechanical behavior and mechanical properties for other composite with shape memory alloy fiber. The smartness of the shape memory alloy 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. For finite element analysis, an analytical model is assumed two dimensional axisymmetric model compared of one fiber and the matrix. To evaluate the strength of composite using FEM, the concept of smart composite was simulated on computer Thus, in this paper, the FEA was carried out at two critical temperature conditions; room temperature and high temperature(363k). The finite element analysis result was compared with the test result for the analysis validity.

Newly commercialized wireless capsule endoscope has many advantages compared to conventional push-type endoscopes. However, it is moved by the peristaltic waves. Therefore, it can not diagnose desired zones actively. In this paper, a locomotive mechanism for wireless capsule endoscope is proposed to increase the efficiency of endoscopy. We designed and fabricated a prototype using SMA springs and bio-mimetic clamping device. The hollow space in the prototype is allocated for further system integration of a camera module, a RF module and a battery. And the sequential control scheme is employed to improve the efficiency of its locomotion. To validate the performance of the locomotive mechanism, experiments on a silicone rubber pad and in vitro tests are carried out. The results of the experiments indicate that proposed mechanism is effective in harsh environments such as digestive organs of a human.

최근 인공위성 임무 고도화에 따라 고성능의 전장품이 탑재되어 시스템 소요전력이 증가되고 있다. 이에 따라 충분한 전력확보를 위하여 태양전지판 크기 또한 점차 증가하고 있다. 태양전지판의 크기 증가 및 중량화는 위성체 자세 기동 시 발생하는 진동과의 커플링 등에 의해 태양전지판 탄성 진동의 크기 증가를 유발한다. 상기 진동은 힌지 및 요크를 통해 위성체에 전달되어 지향성능이 요구되는 고정밀 관측위성의 지향성능과 직결되어 고해상도 영상 획득 임무 성능을 저하시킨다. 종래에는 태양전지판의 탄성 진동을 저감시키고자 고강도 설계에 집중 또는 별도의 보강재 및 댐퍼 시스템을 적용하였다. 그러나, 이는 부피 및 무게를 증가시키며 시스템 복잡성이 증가하는 한계점이 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 상기 한계점을 극복하고자 초탄성 형상기억합금(SMA: Shape Memory Alloy) 양면에 점탄성 테이프로 박막층을 적층함으로써 댐핑 특성을 극대화하였으며, 별도 시스템 적용없이 작은 부피 및 무게로 진동을 저감하여 시스템 경량화에 기여할 수 있는 설계기법을 제안하였다. 제안한 초탄성 SMA 적층형 태양전지판 요크를 태양전지판 더미에 적용시켜 자유감쇠시험 및 온도시험을 통해 설계 유효성을 입증하였다.

As the Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is developed, an interventional procedure becomes the major of the spine surgery in the world. Despite of the use of the expensive medical equipments, the success chance of the nucleoplasty is about 30%. The reason is that the shape of the cannular needle is similar to that of the conventional injector and looks like the straight. Because the tip of these straight needles is not able to reach in the vicinity of the disc bulging or the protrusion, which are the cause of the low back pain and because the far indirect plasma discharge results in the decompression, the nucleoplasty has the limit. Many incurable diseases has not been solved due to the unexistence of the advanced technique for the MIS human body cannula device. If 3-D direction controllable cannular catheter (whose direction is accurately controlled after inserting into the bodies to cure the lesion) is developed, it is expected that new devised cannular catheter can cure many incurable diseases simultaneously. Therefore, the aims of this research are to develop the new devised cannular catheter of SMA direction controller for the medical situation, which has been produced through many previous trial-error procedures, and to produce the commercial medical device.

The researches related to active control systems utilizing superelastic shape memory alloys (SMA) have been recently conducted to reduce critical damage due to lateral deformation after severe earthquakes. Although Superelastic SMAs undergo considerable inelastic deformation, they can return to original conditions without heat treatment only after stress removal. We can expect the mitigation of residual deformation owing to inherent recentering characteristics when these smart materials are installed at the part where large deformation is likely to occur. Therefore, the primary purpose of this research is to develop concentrically braced frames (CBFs) with superelastic SMA bracing systems and to evaluate the seismic performance of such frame structures. In order to investigate the inter-story drift response of CBF structures, 3- and 6-story buildings were design according to current design specifications, and then nonlinear time-history analyses were performed on numerical 2D frame models. Based on the numerical analysis results, it can be comparatively verified that the CBFs with superelastic SMA bracing systems have more structural advantages in terms of energy dissipation and recentering behavior than those with conventional steel bracing systems.

In this study, shape memory alloy(SMA) wires and piezoceramic actuators(PZT's) are employed in order to generate higher modes on the beam deformations. Compressive force is generated and applied to the beam by the pre-strained SMA wires attached at both ends of the beam. PZT's apply concentrated moments to several locations on the beam. Combinations of the compressive force and concentrated moments are investigated in order to understand the higher-mode deformation of beams. The first desired mode shape is obtained by controlling the temperature of the SMA wires. The first and third mode shapes are performed experimentally by heating SMA wires up to phase transformation temperature. The adaptive wing is defined as a wing whose shape parameters such as the camber, wing twist and thickness can be varied in order to change the wing shape for various flight conditions. In this research, control of the camber has been studied. The wing model consists of three plates and many ribs. Two of the plates are placed parallel to each other and they are clamped at one edge. Third plate connects the other edges of the parallel plates together. Each rib is made of SMA wire and connected to the parallel plates. It generates concentrated force and applies to the plates in oblique directions. The PZT's are bonded onto the plates and exert concentrated moments upon the plate at several locations. The object of this research is to generate various shape of wing by combining the concentrated forces and moments.

Ti-50 at. % Ni 합금 타깃으로 PLD(pulsed laser deposition)방법을 사용하여 TiNi 형상기억합금 박막을 제작하였다. Ar분위기(200 mTorr)와 고진공분위기($5{\times}10^{-6}\;Torr$)에서 제작한 TiNi 박막의 조성 및 결정성의 변화를 조사했으며, 박막의 조성은 에너지 분산 엑스선 분광 분석(EDXS)을 이용하여 조사하였고, 박막의 결정성은 엑스선 회절장치(XRD)를 이용하여 조사하였다. 박막의 조성은 기판과 타깃의 거리에 의존되었지만, 기판의 온도와는 무관함을 알 수 있었으며, Ar 분위기에서 플룸 안쪽에 기판이 위치하였을 때 조성 제어가 용이함을 알 수 있었다. 또한, Ar 가스 분위기에서 증착 된 TiNi 박막은 고진공분위기에서 증착된 박막보다 더 낮은 온도(약 $400^{\circ}C$)에서 in situ로 결정화됨을 알 수 있었다. 이들 결과는, PLD방법으로 TiNi 형상기억합금 박막을 제작할 때 분위기 가스의 압력이 결정화 온도를 낮추어 주는 중요한 역할을 할 수 있음을 시사한다.

There has been a great demand for smart actuators in the field of micro-machines. However, the control accuracy of smart actuators, e.g., a shape memory alloy(SMA) and a piezoceramic actuator, is limited due to the inherent hysteresis nonlinearity. The Preisach hysteresis model has emerged as an appropriate model f3r the behavior of those smart actuators. Yet it is still not easy to construct a practical model of hysteresis using the classical Preisach model. Accordingly, in this paper, we propose a new simple method for modeling of the hysteresis nonlinearity of SMA. Using only the proportional relation of the major loop of hysteresis, the proposed method makes the computation of the Preisach model easy. We prove the efficacy of the proposed model through the comparative the experimentation with the classical Preisach model.

The energy dissipation of inverted V-type eccentric steel braced frames can be achieved through the yielding of a slit link, through yielding of a number of strips between slits when the frame is subjected to inelastic cyclic deformation. On the other hand, the development of seismic resistance system without residual deformation is obtained by applying the superelasdtic shape memory alloy (SMA) material into the brace and link elements. This paper presents results from a systematic three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis on the structural behavior of the eccentric bracing systems subjected to cyclic loadings. A wide scope of structural behaviors explains the horizontal stiffness, hysteretic behaviors, and failure modes of the recentering eccentric bracing system. The accurate results presented here serve as benchmark data for comparison with results obtained using modern experimental testing and alternative theoretical approaches.
