Behavior of an activator containing a shape memory alloy rod and an elastic displacement element

,

Abstract:

The behavior of the activator is described on the basis of new constitutive equations for shape memory alloys (SMA) [1-3]. The optimum rigidity of the elastic displacement element is determined. A deformation-force diagram is plotted for the activator.
