Shape memory alloys are exotic materials that can be deformed at room temperature and return to their "remembered," ...
In contrast to conventional electromagnetic coil-based motors and solenoids, the DM-01 actuator from MIGA Motor Co uses shape-memory alloy for its prime mover. Suitable for applications such as ...
NASA engineers have added a new twist to a cutting edge aerospace technology by demonstrating how a new Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuator can fold a 300-lb (136 kg) wing section from an F/A-18 Hornet ...
Abstract: The return of commercial supersonic flight requires innovative solutions to be developed that meet noise and efficiency requirements for overland flight. To study such a possibility NASA is ...
Cambridge Mechatronics has created a shape memory alloy actuator for cameras that combines auto-focus and optical image stabilisation (AF+OIS) in the same structure. Designed to move the lens above an ...
