형상기억합금은 지능형 재료와 구조물에 널리 쓰인다. 큰 힘과 변위를 발생시키는 것이 특징이며 작동기, 소음 및 진동감쇠, 동역학적 튜닝, 형상의 변형 제어 등의 다양한 분야에 응용될 수 있다. 본 논문에 서는 형상기억합금튜브와 초탄성 스프링으로 구성된 형상기억합금 비틀림 작동기를 제안하였고 각각의 거동 특성을 알아보았다. 열전달 해석을 통해 저항열과 히터의 열을 동시에 형상기억합금튜브에 가하면 작동기의 성능을 더 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 접촉 해석으로는 실제 작동기의 거동을 시뮬레이션하였고 정상적으로 작동함을 알 수 있었다. 3 차원 형상기억합금의 거동을 표현하기 위해 비선형 구성방정식을 유한요소 법으로 풀고 ABAQUS 의 U-MAT 기능을 이용하여 비선형 해석을 수행하였다.

There are many practical applization that require motorless actuation. The purpose of the paper is to develop an actuator using the shape memory alloys(SMA) that operates is linear motion. We consider several design specifications as driving force of above 5kgf, driving stroke length 15mm, supply voltage DC 9-l2V and operating time less than 0.5sec etc. Design procedure and experimental results of a mock-up model are Presented. It has been also applied to the door locking system.

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) find many applications in smart composite structural systems as the active components. Their ability to provide a high force and large displacement makes them an excellent candidate for an actuator for controlling the shape of smart structures. In this paper, using a macroscopic model that captures the thermo-mechanical behaviors and the two-way shape memory effect (TWSME) of SMAs smart morphing polymeric composite shell structures like shape-changeable UAV wings is demonstrated and analyzed numerically and experimentally when subjected to various kinds of pressure loads. The controllable shapes of the morphing shells to that thin SMA strip actuator are attached are investigated depending on various phase transformation temperatures. SMA strips start to transform from the martensitic into the austenitic state upon actuation through resistive heating, simultaneously recover the prestrain, and thus cause the shell structures to deform three dimensionally. The behaviors of composite shells attached with SMA strip actuators are analyzed using the finite element methods and 3-D constitutive equations of SMAs. Several morphing composite shell structures are fabricated and their experimental shape changes depending on temperatures are compared to the numerical results. That two results show good correlations indicates the finite element analysis and 3-D constitutive equations are accurate enough to utilize them for the design of smart composite shell structures for various applications.

In this paper we make an flap actuator by using shape memory effects of SMA spring. We studied that the force and stroke what we need to design and the flap mechanism. The force and stroke was estimated through the analysis program which like a catia, matlab etc. We could design and make flap actuator. So The actuator which used SMA spring can apply to small aircraft.

Continuum manipulators as a kind of mechanical arms are useful tools in special robotic applications. In medical applications, like colonoscopy, a maneuverable thin and flexible manipulator is required. This research is focused on developing a basic module for such an application using shape memory alloys (SMA). In the structure of the module three wires of SMA are uniformly distributed and attached to the circumference of a flexible tube. By activating wires, individually or together, different rotation regimes are provided. SMA model is used based on Brinson work. The SMA model is combined to model of flexible tube to provide a composite model of the module. Simulating the model in Matlab provided a platform to be used to develop controller. Complex and nonlinear behavior of SMA make the control problem hard especially when a few SMA actuators are active simultaneously. In this paper, position control of the two degree of freedom module is under focus. An experimental control strategy is developed to regulate a desired position in the module. The simulation results present a reasonable performance of the controller. Moreover, the results are verified through experiments and show that the continuum module of this paper would be used in real modular manipulators.

A deeper understanding of the effectiveness of adopting devices mounting shape memory alloy (SMA) elements in applications targeted to the mitigation of vibrations is pursued via an experimental approach. During a seismic event, less than 1000 loading-unloading cycles of the alloy are required to mitigate the earthquake effects. However, the aging effects during the time of inactivity prior to the oscillations (several decades characterized by the yearly summer-winter temperature wave) should be considered in order to avoid and/or minimize them. In this paper, the results obtained by carrying out, in different laboratories, fatigue tests on SMA specimens are compared and discussed. Furthermore, the effects of seismic events on a steel structure, with and without SMA dampers, are numerically simulated using ANSYS. Under an earthquake excitation, the SMA devices halve the oscillation amplitudes and show re-centering properties. To confirm this result, an experimental campaign is conducted by actually installing the proposed devices on a physical model of the structure and by evaluating their performance under different excitations induced by an actuator.

형상기억합금은 스마트 구조물에서 작동기로 널리 쓰인다. 형상기억합금은 초기변위를 부고 열을 가하게 되면 단위 부피당 큰 회복력과 변위를 발생한다. 형상기억합금의 이론 특성은 인공근육, 작동기, 소음 및 진동감쇠, 형상의 변형 제어 등에 응용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 형상기억합금의 3차원 비선형 구성방정식을 이용하여 재료의 거동특성을 해석하고, 형상기억합금이 부착된 스마트구조로 응용될 수 있는 공기 흡입 덕트, 항공기 및 잠수함 동체 등의 구조를 압력이 존재하는 원형 및 복원을 해석하였다. 수치해석결과, 형상기억합금 엑츄에이터가 내압 하에서 작동하자 단면은 변형전의 모습(낮은 응력상태)으로 회복되었다.

Two aspects of the design of a small-scale smart wing are addressed in this work, related to the ability of the wing to modify its cross section assuming the shape of two different airfoils and to the possibility of deflecting the profiles near the trailing edge in order to obtain hingeless control surfaces. The actuation is provided by one-way shape memory alloy wires eventually coupled to springs, Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) being among the most promising materials for this kind of applications. The points to be actuated along the profiles and the displacements to be imposed are selecetd so that they satisfactorily approximate the change from an airfoil to the other and to result in an adequate deflection of the control surface; the actuators and their performances are designed so that an adequate wing stiffness is guaranteed, in order to prevent excessive deformations and undesired airfoil shape variations due to aerodynamic loads. The effect of the pressure distributions, calculated by way of the XFOIL software, and of the actuators loads, is estimated by FE analyses of the loaded wing. Two prototypes are then realised incorporating the variable airfoil and the hingeless aileron features respectively, and the verification of their shapes in both the actuated and non-actuated states, supported by image analysis techniques, confirms that interesting results are achievable with the proposed lay out and design considerations.
