Project Name: Mathematical Modelling of SMA

Responsibility:

Conducting experiments on SMAs to understand the mathematical model
Improve electronics of the experimental setup

Outcomes:

Many test were performed
Many documentation is written
Accuracy of the measurements in the test setup was increased via electronical changes
More accurate mathematical model was created

Project Objectives:

Obtaining the mathematical model of the SMA actuator by doing experiments
