Brief Description

Description :

Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) exihibit a unique response, namely Shape Memory Effect (SME), where they undergo large deformation upon loading and subsequent recovery upon heating. SMAs also possesses high energy density, offering them potential candidates for actuation at low frequencies. The project aims to develop finite element model for coupled thermos- mechanical analysis of shape memory alloy actuated strucMe for space application.
