Development of an SMA testing rig for finger prosthesis / Mohamad Amlie Abu Kasim

This paper is focuses on the experimental verification of a SMA actuation system. The aim of this project is utilizing Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) as actuators in controlling the flexion-extension of finger prosthesis and the preparing the experiment set-up for testing the SMA wire. The shape memory al...

An actuator unit that consists of SMA wire and spring is set-up, and transfer function of the actuator unit related to applied voltages and generated forces are measured [12].
