Liu, Q. (author), Ghodrat, S. (author), Jansen, K.M.B. (author)Conventional hinge actuators often face limitations including excessive weight, large size and unpleasant noise. Shape memory alloys (SMAs) offer a solution to address these issues due to their favorable characteristics, such as lightweight, high actuation force and small form factor. However, most existing SMA-based hinge actuators rely on...journal article 2024

Liu, Q. (author), Ghodrat, S. (author), Huisman, G. (author), Jansen, K.M.B. (author)Devices delivering sophisticated and natural haptic feedback often encompass numerous mechanical elements, leading to increased sizes and wearability challenges. Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are lightweight, compact, and have high power-to-weight ratios, and thus can easily be embedded without affecting the overall device shapes. Here, a review...review 2023
