Design of Shape Memory Alloy Coil Spring Actuator for Improving Performance in Cyclic Actuation
Performance of the shape memory alloy (SMA) coil spring actuator in cyclic actuation as an artificial muscle is strongly related to the mechanical design of the coil geometry. This paper proposes a practical design method for improving the frequency and efficiency of the SMA coil spring actuator; by...
