Shape Memory Polymer Composite Actuator: Modeling Approach for Preliminary Design and Validation

Shape Memory Polymer Composite Actuator: Modeling Approach for Preliminary Design and Validation

The work at hand focuses on the modeling, prototyping, and experimental functionality test of a smart actuator based on shape memory polymer technology. Particular attention is paid to the specific modeling approach, here conceived as an effective predictive scheme, quick and, at the same time, able...
