Shape memory alloy (SMA) pipe couplers use the shape memory effect to apply a contact pressure onto the surface of the pipes to be coupled. In the current research, an SMA pipe coupler is designed, fabricated and tested. The thermally induced contact pressure depends on several factors such as the dimensions and properties of the coupler-pipe system. An in-house developed NiTi alloy system is considered for the coupler. The coupling pressure is measured using strain gages mounted on the internal surface of an elastic steel ring. Thermal actuation response of the coupler is determined under both stressed and stress-free conditions. In addition, the state of anisotropy is investigated in the coupler by characterizing samples in the longitudinal and transverse directions. Unlike the commercially available NiTiNb couplers, the NiTi coupler demonstrates a multiple actuation response and higher contact pressure. The state of anisotropy is investigated in the couplers by characterizing samples in the longitudinal and transverse directions. The results show no change in transformation temperatures with respect to two perpendicular transverse and longitudinal directions, however, the material can undergo higher transformation strains in the longitudinal direction.

Seismic Excitations

Vertical seismic excitation has a tremendous effect on bridges and many researchers have pointed out bridges damages occurred during the past significant earthquakes which were direct results of ignoring vertical acceleration of ground motions. Many studies have emphasized the importance of extending practical methods to reduce effects of vertical acceleration of earthquakes besides effects of horizontal accelerations; but no practical method has proposed up to now. In this article, an innovative shape memory alloy system is proposed for bridges that can simultaneously controls effects of vertical and horizontal seismic excitations on bridge and reduce them. To evaluate the effectiveness of the shape memory alloy system, a nonlinear time history analysis is conducted on a detailed three-dimensional model of a multi-span simply supported bridge using a representative ground motion. The results show that the proposed new system is very effective for reducing effects of vertical and horizontal seismic excitations on bridges.

Sma Actuator

This paper details an investigation of shape memory alloy (SMA) filaments which are used to drive a flight control system with precision control in a real flight environment. An antagonistic SMA actuator was developed with an integrated demodulator circuit from a JR NES 911 subscale UAV actuator. Most SMA actuator studies concentrate on modeling the open-loop characteristics of such a system with full actuator performance modeling. This paper is a bit different in that it is very practically oriented and centered on development of a flight-capable system which solves the most tricky, practical problems associated with using SMA filaments for aircraft flight control. By using well-tuned feedback loops, it is shown that intermediate SMA performance prediction is not appropriate for flight control system (FCS) design. Rather, capturing the peak behavior is far more important, along with appropriate feedback loop design. To prove the system, an SMA actuator was designed and installed in the fuselage of a 2 m uninhabited aerial vehicle (UAV) and used to control the rudder through slips and coordinated turns. The actuator was capable of 20 degrees of positive and negative deflection and was capable of 7.5 in-oz (5.29 N cm) of torque at a bandwidth of 2.8 Hz.
