The effect of rare earth element Nd addition on the microstructure and martensitic transformation behavior of Ni50Ti50−xNdx(x=0, 1, 3, 7, 20) shape memory alloy was investigated experimentally. The results showed that the microstructure of Ni-Ti-Nd ternary alloy consists of the NiNd phase and the NiTi matrix. One-step martensitic transformation was observed in all alloys. The martensitic transformation start temperatureMsincreased gradually with increasing Nd content for Ni-Ti-Nd alloys.

The simulation of a flexible finger, actuated with the shape memory alloys (SMAs) artificial muscles, is presented in the paper. The finger is modeled as a cylindrically rod with three embedded NiTi wires in a n aluminum matrix. Forces between NiTi wires causes bending in any plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the finger. The NiTi wires are heated above the austenitic start temperature by passing an electrical current, and the deflected wire tends to return to the initial configuration. Using characteristics of SMAs such as high damping capacity, super-elasticity, thermo-mechanical behavior and shape memory, the actuation for the finger is theoretically introduced and discussed.
