Nickel Titanium and Nickel Titanium Hafnium Shape Memory Alloy thin films
Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) coatings of NiTi and NiTiHf have been deposited onto Si substrates using pulse DC sputtering. Coatings of NiTi with compositions containing 45 to 65 at% Ti have been fabricated by co-sputtering NiTi with Ti. NiTiHf coatings with Hf compositions ranging from 2 to 30 at% Hf have been fabricated by co-sputtering NiTi with Hf. XRD results reveal the as-deposited coatings ...
متن کاملModeling of a Shape Memory Alloy Active Catheter
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) have interesting properties for application in adaptive structures, and many researchers have already explored their possibilities. However, the complex behavior of the material makes the development of SMA adaptive structures a challenging task. It is generally accepted that systematic, model-based design approaches and design optimization techniques can be of great ...
متن کاملShape Memory Alloy Actuator forBio-medical application
In this paper various applications of shape memory alloys (SMA) in bio-medical field based upon their material properties are discussed, and a novel SMA spring actuator design for biopsy is proposed. Design parameters such as spring configuration, wire diameter required for designing the actuator were defined and obtained through experiments. Finally, itconcludeswith the possibility of using SM...
متن کاملA bidirectional shape memory alloy folding actuator
This paper presents a low-profile bidirectional folding actuator based on annealed shape memory alloy sheets applicable for mesoand microscale systems. Despite the advantages of shape memory alloys—high strain, silent operation, and mechanical simplicity—their application is often limited to unidirectional operation. We present a bidirectional folding actuator that produces two opposing 180 mot...
متن کاملMagnetic Shape Memory Alloy and Actuator Design
In the field of micromechatronics, microrobotics and specially microfactories, active materials are used in most cases. They permit high resolution and distributed actuation. In this area, Magnetic Shape Memory Alloys (MSMA) are possible candidates. If a lot of studies deal with MSMA, only few applications use them until now. MSMA are attractive active materials because they have large strain (...
