Design, fabrication, evaluation of low-speed UAV wing flap actuated with shape memory alloy

The novel properties of shape memory alloys (SMA) are very attractive for providing new solutions to challenging problems in aerospace engineering. Although SMA possess very high kinetic output and instantaneous actuation upon heating, owing to their slow cooling rate, difficulties have been encount...
