Shape memory alloys : numerical simulation and optimal design of SMA actuators
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are particularly attractive as actuators in smart structures, due to their large actuation strain/stress, high power/weight ratio, single actuation mechanism and low noise etc. However, the lack of reliable predictive models and computational and design tools severely limi...
