Design of a Robust Priming Controller for SMA Actuators

Song, Zihao Hunter (University of Waterloo, 2012-09-21)

Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) have been demonstrated to be effective actuator elements in a wide range of applications, such as robotics, medicine, aerospace and automotive. Enabled by the unique thermo-mechanical properties ...
Micro-Welding of Nitinol Shape Memory Alloy

Tam, Billy (University of Waterloo, 2010-04-30)

Nitinol shape memory alloys have revolutionized many traditional engineering designs with the unique properties of pseudoelasticity and shape memory effect. At the present moment, primary fabrication processes for ...
Thermal Modeling of Shape Memory Alloy Wire Actuators for Automotive Applications

Ma, Huilong (University of Waterloo, 2010-08-16)

Shape Memory Alloy is an amazing material, which can “remember” and return to its original shape when heated due to its temperature dependent phase transformation. Shape Memory Alloy wire has significant potential for ...
