The Study of New NiTi Actuators to Reinforce the Wing Movement of Aircraft Systems

Actuators using Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) springs could operate in different mechanical systems requiring geometric flexibility and high performance. The aim of the present study is to highlight the potential of these actuators, using their dimensional variations resulting from the phase transformati...
