In this paper we give a short introduction to elements with shape memory effect and discuss their potential in automotive applications. In the second part of the paper we present a prototype of a NiTinol wire controller. The presented mechanism is suitable for applications in various fields, for example automotive industry and medical industry. It is necessary to control the stroke of shape memory alloy actuator in order to set the desired proprieties. The NiTi-Controller is a device designed to control the contraction-elongation of shape memory alloy wires when they are loading a weight. Normally the lengths of the wires used are between 75 and 125 cm, and the maximum contraction-elongation is 5% of its original length.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
