The development of stretch forming tools has long been plagued by significant challenges. First, the low production volumes within the aerospace industry and the large numbers of stretch formed parts make the process capital intensive. Second, the development of stretch forming tooling has long been more of an art than a science. This results in poo

I serpenti robot sono una classe di meccanismi iper-ridondanti che appartiene alla robotica modulare. Grazie alla loro forma snella ed allungata e all'alto grado di ridondanza possono muoversi in ambienti complessi con elevata agilità. L'abilità di spostarsi, manipolare e adattarsi efficientemente ad una grande varietà di terreni li rende ideali per diverse applicazioni, come ad esempio attività di ricerca e soccorso, ispezione o ricognizione. I robot serpenti si muovono nello spazio modificando la propria forma, senza necessità di ulteriori dispositivi quali ruote od arti. Tali deformazioni,

The development of a leading edge propeller blade reconfiguration system using Shape Memory Allow (SMA) muscles is presented.

The leading edge flap is deflected by SMA wires housed in the blade and maintained in a fixed position with a shaft locking and releasing mechanism. A locking and releasing mechanism is utilized so that constant actuation of the SMAs is not required to maintain leading edge deflection. The profile at 70% span of the propeller blade was used to

Since physical form and function are intimately linked, mechanisms that maintain cell shape and size within strict limits are likely to be important for a wide variety of biological processes. However, while intrinsic controls have been found to contribute to the relatively well-defined shape of bacteria and yeast cells, the extent to which individual cells from a multicellular animal control their plastic form remains unclear and is the subject of much scientific interest. In this work I studied the regulation of the cell length using micro-patterned lines to limit cell extension to one dimen

The high quality CuxS nanocrystals were synthesized (Chapter 3) and the profound understanding and skills to prepare colloidal nanocrystals has been obtained and improved. It revealed a very simple synthetic route not only for the systematic investigation on the size control of the copper sulfide nanodisks but also for studying the influence of different stoichiometric ratios on the shape of copper sulfide nanocrystals. An increase of the precursor concentration in the growth solution resulted in the formation of tetradecahedral and dodecahedral nanocrystals. XRD results showed these nanodisks

Abstract:

While the existing thermomechanical constitutive models can predict the behavior of SMA-actuated systems in most cases, in this study, we have shown that there are certain situations in which these models are not able to predict the behavior of SMAs. To this end, a rotary SMA-actuated robotic arm is modeled using the existing constitutive models. The model is verified against the experimental results to document that under certain conditions, the model is not able to predict the behavior of the SMA-actuated manipulator. Such cases most often occur when the temperature and stress of the SMA wir
