(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)This work details an investigation into the production of porous shape memory alloys (SMAs) via hot isostatic press (HIP) from prealloyed powders. HIPing is one of three main methods for producing porous SMAs, the other ...
-
(2018-10-25)Large monolithic shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators are currently limited to applications with low cyclic actuation frequency due to their high thermal masses coupled with low heat transfer rates. Liquid gallium-indium ...
-
(2015-07-17)The present work examines the effects of high frequency induction heating on shape memory alloy (SMA) components with arbitrary geometries. SMA actuators deliver high forces but are compact and reliable, making them ideal ...

(2021-07-19)Any aircraft wing design configuration is primarily intended to maximize performance during the predominant flight condition (e.g., cruise in transport aircraft) while control surfaces (e.g., flap and slats) permit necessary ...
-
(2012-02-14)The damaging effects of strong ground motions on highway bridges have revealed the limitations of conventional design methods and emphasized the need for innovative design concepts. Although seismic isolation systems have ...
