A torsional artificial muscle from twisted nitinol microwire

A torsional artificial muscle from twisted nitinol microwire

Nitinol microwires of 25 μm in diameter can have tensile actuation of up to 4.5% in less than 100 ms. A work density of up to 480 MPa can be achieved from these microwires. In the present work, we are showing that by twisting the microwires in form of closed-loop two-ply yarn we can create a torsion...
