Shape Memory Alloy Actuators by Mohammad H. Elahinia Pdf

This book provides a systematic approach to realizing NiTi shape memory alloy actuation, and is aimed at science and engineering students who would like to develop a better understanding of the behaviors of SMAs, and learn to design, simulate, control, and fabricate these actuators in a systematic approach. Several innovative biomedical applications of SMAs are discussed. These include orthopedic, rehabilitation, assistive, cardiovascular, and surgery devices and tools. To this end unique actuation mechanisms are discussed. These include antagonistic bi-stable shape memory-superelastic actuation, shape memory spring actuation, and multi axial tension-torsion actuation. These actuation mechanisms open new possibilities for creating adaptive structures and biomedical devices by using SMAs.

Shape Memory Alloys by H. R. Chen Pdf

A shape memory alloy (SMA, also known as a smart metal, memory alloy, or muscle wire) is an alloy that "remembers" its shape, and can be returned to that shape after being deformed, by applying heat to the alloy. When the shape memory effect is correctly harnessed, this material becomes a lightweight, solid-state alternative to conventional actuators such as hydraulic, pneumatic, and motor-based systems. Shape memory alloys have numerous applications in the medical and aerospace industries. This book presents the latest research in the field from around the globe.

Shape Memory Materials and Its Applications by Y. Y. Chu,L. C. Zhao Pdf

This volume contains the proceedings of the International Conference on Shape Memory and Superelastic Technologies and Shape Memory Materials (SMST-SMM 2001) which was held in Kunming, China, on the 2-6 September, 2001. This built on the SMST and SMM international conference series; thus making the present conference more international, and fostering a lively cross-fertilization which could only promote developments in both materials themselves and in their applications. The proceedings comprise 131 papers which cover all aspects of shape memory materials (SMM), and the application of shape memory and superelastic technologies (SMST). The main topics covered are:

Shape Memory Alloys by George Gibbs Pdf

Shape memory alloys have become in the past decades a well-established research subject. However, the complex relations between properties and structure have created a continuously growing interest for a deeper insight all this time. Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are metals that ""remember"" their original shapes. SMAs are useful for such things as actuators which are materials that ""change shape, stiffness, position, natural frequency, and other mechanical characteristics in response to temperature or electromagnetic fields"". The potential uses for SMAs especially as actuators have broadened the spectrum of many scientific fields. The study of the history and development of SMAs can provide an insight into a material involved in cutting-edge technology. The diverse applications for these metals have made them increasingly important and visible to the world. Nickel-titanium alloys have been found to be the most useful of all SMAs. Other shape memory alloys include copper-aluminum-nickel, copperzinc-aluminum, and iron- manganese-silicon alloys. Although medical applications for shape memory alloys (SMA) now dominate in today's market, there are many applications in the industrial sector which have reached large volume production that far surpass the material usage in the medical fields. In the early growth of shape memory alloy technology the most important applications were for fasteners and couplings, mainly in the military sector. With the maturing of the technology, and the broader availability of alloys, industrial applications appear in a wide spectrum of commerce. Eyeglass frames were an early example of a new use of superelasticity which has grown to be a world-wide product. Cellular phone antennas consume millions of feet of superelastic wire, and the development of underwire for women's brassieres, formerly limited to Asian market, is now expanding into a worldwide fashion.Shape Memory Alloys - Processing, Characterization and Applications focuses on a wide range of topics from processing to the relationship between the structure and properties, as well as new applications.The many uses and applications of shape memory alloys ensure a bright future for these metals. Research is currently carried out at many robotics departments and materials science departments.
