Abstract

Bistable shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators have gained significant attention due to their ability to maintain stable positions without requiring a continuous supply of power. This feature is particularly advantageous in applications where power consumption is a concern, as it allows for efficient energy usage and reduced operating costs. In addition, bistable SMA actuators have a fast response time and high force output, making them suitable for a wide range of applications in fields such as robotics, aerospace, and biomedical engineering. The unique properties of SMA materials, including the shape memory effect and superelasticity, provide numerous benefits for actuator design and operation. The present research introduces the design of a bistable actuator that utilizes shape memory alloys to generate high forces while maintaining a compact and lightweight form factor.
