Quantitative energy storage and ejection release in superelastic shape memory alloy wire
Superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) wire is a memorable deformation material with large resilience and high energy density. In this paper, a revolutionary and yet explainable property of the SMA is investigated and confirmed: superelastic SMA energy storage and release can be quantitatively measured using electrical resistance. This finding boosted the SMA with significant advantages and potential in the field of mechanical energy storage and ejection release. A state-of-the-art energy storage ejection device is designed to test the relationship among SMA wires' stress, strain, and electrical resistance. The resistance change rate, ejection energy density and energy conversion efficiency are studied in the SMA wire energy tests. The experimental results confirm that the resistance change rate of the superelastic SMA wire has a stable linear relationship with the strain. The ejection energy density increases with the resistance change rate. A theoretical model of the relationship between the ejection energy density and resistance change rate is established based on the experimental results. In conclusion, the superelastic SMA wire can achieve sophisticated tasks that require ‘programmable’ and predictable energy storage or ejection.
