Analysis and Design of Thermal Actuators
Current literature describes the use of multiple SMA elements placed in parallel to increase the lifting capabilities of an SMA actuator, which however, is limited to springs of like-diameter. A constrained optimization problem was formulated, with constraints on the maximum number of springs, volta...
