Adaptive Tunable Vibration Absorber using Shape Memory Alloy
This study presents a new approach to control the nonlinear dynamics of an adaptive absorber using shape memory alloy (SMA) element. Shape memory alloys are classified as smart materials that can remember their original shape after deformation. Stress and temperature-induced phase transformations are two typical behaviors of shape memory alloys. Changing the stiffness associated with phase tran...
متن کاملActuation of shape-memory colloidal fibres of Janus ellipsoids.
Many natural micrometre-scale assemblies can be actuated to control their optical, transport and mechanical properties, yet such functionality is lacking in colloidal structures synthesized thus far. Here, we show with experiments and computer simulations that Janus ellipsoids can self-assemble into self-limiting one-dimensional fibres with shape-memory properties, and that the fibrillar assemb...
متن کاملLight-activated shape memory polymers: Muscle actuation for prosthetics
Development of advanced self-actuating prostheses is an integral part of improving the quality of life for patients with physical disabilities. Moreover, the design of the prosthesis needs to be cost sensitive to the manufacturer and agreeable to the patients’ financial and performance expectations. Hence, this study aims to create a technology for arm prosthesis actuation that is affordable an...
متن کاملBioinspired 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 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...
