Bioinspired Soft Actuation System Using Shape Memory Alloys
Soft robotics requires technologies that are capable of generating forces even though the bodies are composed of very light, flexible and soft elements. A soft actuation mechanism was developed in this work, taking inspiration from the arm of the Octopus vulgaris, specifically from the muscular hydrostat which represents its constitutive muscular structure. On the basis of the authors’ previous...
متن کاملMagnetic field-induced reversible actuation using ferromagnetic shape memory alloys
This paper presents a simple method to examine whether a ferromagnetic shape memory alloy can be used as an actuator by controlling the transformation temperature by magnetic field. Both Fe–Pd and NiAlCo alloys are studied. The analysis results show the recently discovered alloy of NiAlCo cannot be used. Although an Fe–Pd alloy can be used, in principle, for magnetic field actuation, the work e...
متن کاملInvestigation of Interfacial Shear Stresses, Shape Fixity, and Actuation Strain in Composites Incorporating Shape Memory Polymers and Shape Memory Alloys
*Correspondence: Marcelo J. Dapino, 201 West 19th Avenue, Columbus, OH 43210, USA e-mail: [email protected] Shape memory composites (SMCs) based on shape memory alloys (SMAs) and shape memory polymers (SMPs) allow many design possibilities due to their controllable temperature-dependent mechanical properties. The complementary characteristics of SMAs and SMPs can be utilized in systems with shap...
متن کاملShape Memory Alloys
THE TERM SHAPE MEMORY ALLOYS (SMA) is applied to that group of metallic materials that demonstrate the ability to return to some previously defined shape or size when subjected to the appropriate thermal procedure. Generally, these materials can be plastically deformed at some relatively low temperature, and upon exposure to some higher temperature will return to their shape prior to the deform...
متن کاملShape memory micro-actuation for a gastro-intestinal intervention system
This paper describes the design of a prototype gastro-intestinal intervention system based on an inchworm-type of mobile robot. This type of device is a kind of vehicle for inspection through the colon, something that is currently impossible due to the large number of turns in the intestinal system. Eventually, tools for intervention can be added in the future. The overall system is about 95 mm...
