Pełny tekst źródłaA new technique is presented to mount nickel-titanium (NiTi) SMA fibers. NiTi alloys are not readily bonded, soldered, brazed or welded to other materials. The new method employs metal deposited on the fiber or between two fibers or between fibers and other parts, creating metallic attachments that are mechanically sound and electrically conductive. Furthermore a new process for the three-dimensional microfabrication by localized electrodeposition and etching has also been developed. This latter process, combined with the first process, can be used to integrate NiTi alloys in micro-mechanisms. The good electrical contacts as well as mechanical contact provided by the new attachment mechanisms are important, since they allow the rapid methods to be employed.
Several apparatus were built to study the response of NiTi fibers, in particular to very fast current pulses. Experimental results were obtained to describe the response of the fibers, such as their speed, hysteresis, stiffness and resistivity, and show how these variables change dynamically as a function of time, temperature and stress. Other measurements important for the design of new actuators were done, such as those of efficiency when fast actuation with large current pulses is used.
In the third part of the thesis a novel application for fast fiber actuators is presented in the form of a fast rotary motor for in-the-wheel car rotary motors.

This thesis considers the application of shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators for shape control of the undertray of a sports car. By deforming the shape of the structure that provides aerodynamic stability to the car, we expect to improve the overall performance of the vehicle by adapting its aerodynamics according to the vehicle speed. We then develop a methodology for designing SMA actuators in this application. The methodology is based on the integration of the different models involved: mechanical, thermal, and electrical. The constraints imposed on the device are also incorporated. Unfortunately, the analysis predicts an actuation time that is too slow for this particular application. Still, we use our assembled model to sketch the expected characteristics of SMA actuators. A significant result is that the actuation time is a function of the amount of energy the active material has to provide, and that there is a necessary trade-off between the mass of actuators and the actuation time. In particular, the expected energy density may have to be decreased to achieve acceptable actuation times. Finally, we propose a way to estimate a priori the suitability of SMA actuators for a particular application.

Single crystal Ni-Mn-Ga ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs) are active materials which produce strain when a magnetic field is applied. The large saturation strain (6%) of Ni-Mn-Ga, and material energy density comparable to piezoelectric ceramics make Ni- Mn-Ga an interesting active material. However, their usefulness is limited by the bulky electromagnet required to produce a magnetic field. In this thesis, a novel actuation method is developed for shape memory alloys in their martensitic phase, whereby asymmetric acoustic pulses are used to drive twin boundary motion. Experimental actuators were developed using a combination of Ni-Mn-Ga FSMA single crystals and a piezoelectric stack actuator. In bi-directional actuation without load, strains of over 3% were achieved using repeated pulses (at 100 Hz) over a 30 s interval, while 1% strain was achieved in under 1 s. The maximum strains achieved are comparable to the strains achieved using bi-directional magnetic actuation, although the time required for actuation is longer. No-load actuation also showed a nearly linear relationship between the magnitude of the asymmetric stress pulse and the strain achieved during actuation, and a positive correlation between pulse repetition rate and output strain rate, up to at least 100 Hz. Acoustic actuation against a spring load showed a maximum output energy density for the actuator of about 1000 J/m³, with a peak-to-peak stress and strain of 100 kPa and 2%, respectively.

Despite amazing progress in the past two decades, the field of robotics has yet to produce a robotic hand with the same dexterity as the human hand. There has yet to even be a functioning robotic hand of the same size and weight as the human hand. These deficiencies can be attributed to the size, weight and complexity of the actuators used in these robotic hands. Thermal shape memory alloys (SMA's) have characteristics such as high power density which indicate that they would be ideal actuators for such applications. However, certain characteristics of SMA exist which, if left unaddressed, make usage as an actuator impractical. The implementation of SMA for the actuation of a 20 degree of freedom robotic hand and forearm is investigated. A segmented actuation design for the SMA is implemented to address issues of practicality; other issues with regards to the controllability, response time and limited strain of the SMA are addressed. A 20 degree of freedom robotic hand with 16 controlled axes is designed along with a 32 axis actuator box. The designs are realized and the result is a functioning robotic hand of similar size and weight to the human hand. It is concluded that thermal shape memory alloys are a viable solution for the purposes of compact lightweight actuation of vast degree of freedom systems.

In situations that demand the use of the high-bandwidth, high-quality sense of vision for interactions with the physical world it would be beneficial to have a wearable tactile display that takes advantage of touch to communicate information to the user without causing visual distractions. This thesis presents the design and development of a novel actuator that can be configured into thin, flexible arrays to meet this need for wearable tactile displays. The actuator presented uses the strain recovery property of the martensitic transformation of Nitinol, a Shape Memory Alloy (SMA), to generate the actuation force. A compliant bistable mechanism provides the restoring force that pre- strains the martensitic Nitinol, and thus makes the actuator binary. Binary actuation alleviates some of the problems that would otherwise limit the effectiveness of Nitinol in wearable haptic systems. To increase the potential for commercial success, manufacturability issues are considered throughout the development cycle to ensure the potential for economical large scale production. The paper concludes with the presentation of three different prototypes. Their successes and failures are discussed along with recommendations for future work.

Pełny tekst źródłaA new concept of designing shape memory alloy bending actuator is presented in the end of the thesis. Part of the modelling work is accomplished in this research by developing a software simulator which is capable of predicting the geometric transformation of the actuator during bending. As a result, the dynamic strain of each SMA fiber in the actuator can be computed given a bending axis and angle. Graphical display of the bending transformation is implemented using in house software package. Further investigation of modelling and control of the SMA bending actuator is left as future work.

Small satellites have lowered the barrier to entry for space-bound science and technology demonstrations. However, the small form factor requires extremely low size, weight, and power for any on-board hardware. Precision actuation of deployable structures has previously been achievable only through low SWaP single-use actuators or motor-driven, high SWaP multiple-use actuators. The Folded Lightweight Actuated Positioning System has the potential to provide an ultra-lightweight multiple-use actuator by using a Joule-heated shape memory alloy-based hinge. The hinge uses two shape memory alloy strips which are trained in opposite directions and mounted into a rotary actuator. Two different shape memory alloy geometries are explored: a rectangular cross-section and a circular cross-section. The rectangular hinge actuates over a range of ±20° with an average power of 0.14 W. The circular hinge actuates over a range of ±23° with an average power of 0.073 W. A closed-loop controller uses pulse width modulation and encoder measurements to actuate the rectangular hinge to within 2' of the desired angle.

Over a decade of continuing CubeSat technology improvements are driving the wide adoption of CubeSats for research and commercial missions. Resource constraints onboard CubeSats still limit their ability to support multi-use actuators, but there is a need for a rotary CubeSat actuator that can be actively commanded to different angles. This type of actuator can be implemented in a CubeSat mechanism for differential drag management, increased power generation, and reconfigurable deployable structures. We propose using a shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator to meet this need. A SMA can be annealed at high temperatures to remember a trained shape. Upon cool down, the SMA element transforms to the martensite phase and is easily deformed. When the element is heated above the transformation temperature it transforms to the stiff austenite phase and assumes its remembered shape, driving the mechanism. Two SMA actuators are trained to different shapes and provide bidirectional rotary motion for use as a space mechanism. The actuators are designed by implementing kinematic, thermal, and bending models to size the SMA element. The models also predict the performance, size, weight, and power of the actuator and ensure it can operate in the CubeSat environment. Then, a prototype of the proposed actuator is manufactured, assembled, and ground tested. Testing is used to validate the models and verify the requirements necessary to operate onboard a CubeSat. The prototype meets all requirements and offers a reduced mass, volume, and complexity alternative to current CubeSat electromagnetic actuators. Future work is necessary to improve the mechanical performance and positional control of the SMA actuator.

Pełny tekst źródłaAerospace structures have stringent pointing and shape control requirements during long-term exposure to a hostile environment with no scheduled maintenance. This makes them excellent candidates for a smart structures approach as current passive techniques prove insufficient. This study investigates the feasibility of providing autonomous dimensional control to aerospace structures by embedding shape memory alloy elements inside composite structures. Increasing volume fractions of nitinol wire were embedded in cross-ply graphite/ epoxy composite panels. The potential of this approach was evaluated by measuring the change in longitudinal strain with increasing temperature and volume fraction. Reduction of thermal expansion is demonstrated and related to embedded volume fraction.
Classical lamination theory is used to formulate a two-dimensional model which
included the adaptive properties of the embedded nitinol. The model was used to predict
the increased modulus and reduction of thermal strain in the modified plates which was
verified by the experimental data.

Pełny tekst źródłaFurther, a camera platform was constructed as an application for the actuators. The camera platform prototype orients a small CCD camera head, that supplies data to a foveated vision system. The three degrees of freedom pan, tilt, and torsion, are realized by four actuators in an antagonistic fashion. The camera support was manufactured using light weight plastic, including the use of plastic hinges to reduce the use of weighty bearings.
Control of the actuators is accomplished via a two stage switching feedback law that has its basis in sliding mode control theory. Essentially, the controller switches according to the sign of the error choosing which actuator is agonist and which is the antagonist.

Pełny tekst źródłaRecent years have witnessed a tremendous growth and significant advances in “smart” composites and “smart” composite structures. These smart composites integrate active elements such as sensors and actuators into a host structure to create improved or new functionalities through a clever choice of the active elements and/or a proper design of the structure. Such composites are able to sense a change in the environment and make a useful response by using an external feedback control system. Depending on their applications, smart composites usually make use of either the joint properties of the structure or the properties of the individual elements within the composites. The accumulation in the understanding of materials science and the rapid developments in computational capabilities have provided an even wider framework for the implementation of multi-functionality in composites and make “smart” composites “intelligent”.
