A New Shape Memory Alloy Based Smart Encoder for Sensing of Direction and Angular Motion
This paper presents a novel technique for sensing direction, angle and velocity from rotation of shafts using simple Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) based micro-switches. Due to electro-mechanical coupling of SMA wires reflected in controlled force generation capacity, the SMA based devices can provide bet...
