Mechanical response of shape memory alloy-based hybrid composite subjected to low-velocity impacts
One of the most common problems with composite materials is their low resistance to impacts with foreign objects because of their tendency to dissipate impact energy through internal delamination, weakening a large area of...
Design and simulation of a flexible bending actuator for solar sail attitude control
This paper presents the design of a flexible bending actuator using shape memory alloy (SMA) and its integration in attitude control for solar sailing. The SMA actuator has advantages in its power-to-weight ratio and...
