Summary: | The paper presents the research results achieved in order to perform a
comparison regarding the influence of natural and forced cooling process
applied to the Nitinol active springs inside a linear motion actuator.
SMAs offer attractive potentials such as reversible strains of several
percent, generation of high recovery stresses and high power / weight
ratios. The actuator behavior was simulated first with SolidWorks and
experimentally tested for results validation.
