Largely deformable torsional soft morphing actuator created by twisted shape memory alloy wire and its application to a soft morphing wing

Abstract We present a new type of torsional soft morphing actuator designed and fabricated by twisted shape memory alloy (SMA) wires embedded in polydimethylsiloxane matrix. The design and fabrication process of the proposed soft morphing actuator are presented with investigations of its working mec...
