Manufacturing
Working principle
Simple manufacturing system
enables the fabrication of long strand coiled springs of NiTi muscle fiber. The core wire is under tension and an NiTi wire is wound around the core. The guidance tube is slightly larger than the core wire. The tension of the NiTi wire is maintained by friction between NiTi and the long bar.

SMA based high frequency actuator
Higher heat dissipation rate
The phase changes of SMA wire determine the actuating characteristic of actuator.
To increase actuating speed, rapid heating and cooling of SMA wire are required.

Ionic Polymer-Metal Composite (IPMC)
28
IPMC
IPMC consists of an ionic polymer material as a base ion exchange medium and a surface metal electrode to which the electric potential is applied.
By applying a voltage to the metal electrodes, the hydrated cations inside the base ionic polymer are rearranged. This rearrangement then induces a volume change, depending on the direction of the anode.
Bending mechanism of an IPMC
IPMC bending actuator
Size: 70 mm X 8 mm Frequency: 0.1-5 Hz
IPMC biaxial actuator
(Lee G-Y et al, 2011) The structure is bar shaped with a square cross section and had four insulated electrodes on its surface. By applying different voltages to these four electrodes, a biaxial bending motion can be induced© Sung-Hoon Ahn

Adaptable Tire via the use of SMA
Adaptable tire characteristics:
For rainy and snowy conditions, sufficient tread pattern is required to maintain the grip with the road.
Both tire compound (composed material) and the tread pattern determines the driving capabilities
The surface pattern of tire can change using SMA based on condition of road surface
