Developing Methods For Designing Shape Memory Alloy Actuated Morphing Aerostructures

The past twenty years have seen the successful characterization and computational modeling efforts by the smart materials community to better understand the Shape Memory Alloy (SMA). Commercially available numerical analysis tools, coupled with powerful constitutive models, have been shown to be hig...
