Deflection and Performance Analysis of Shape Memory Alloy-Driven Fiber–Elastomer Composites with Anisotropic Structure
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Materials and Methods
2.1. Actuator Design and Manufacturing
- Overbraid the SMA wire with polyamide yarn (PA yarn) and copper wire (cu wire);
- Place the glass fiber textile layers;
- Tailor the fiber placement of the braided SMA wire on the textile;
- Infiltrate the textile with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to form the soft actuator with vacuum-assisted infusion process (VARI process);
- Cut the sample to size.
2.2. Activation of the Structure
- Load cycling at the beginning of the test to stabilize the actuator behavior;
- Carrying out of preliminary tests based on previous investigations [30] and carrying out of subsequent adaptations;
- Selection of parameters:
- Switch-on time of 5 s and switch-off time of 45 s as main setting;
- Doubling of the switch-on and switch-off times for two electrical settings: 10 s switch-on time and 90 s switch-off time.
2.3. Measurement Methodology
3. Results and Discussion
3.1. Influence of Activation Parameters and Temperature on Deflection
3.2. Three-Dimensional Actuator Deflection
3.3. Maximum Actuation Due to Overheating of the Actuator
