Shape Memory Alloy Valves [electronic resource] : Basics, Potentials, Design /
Czechowicz, Alexander.editor.
Langbein, Sven.editor.
This book introduces shape memory alloy (SMA) technology with a specific focus on valve applications. The authors describe the basics of shape memory actuators, application characteristics of these smart materials, and the current and potential uses of this technology. The book includes an overview of thermal and electrical valves based on SMA as well as detailed approaches in product development of different SMA valve designs.
