Design Method for Constant Force Components Based on Superelastic SMA

Clamping devices with constant force or pressure are desired in medical instruments, such as hemostatic forceps and the artificial sphincter, to prevent soft tissues from injures due to overloading. This paper studies the design method issues in constant force components using superelastic shape mem...
