Environmental analysis and optimisation of an in-orbit shape memory alloy deployment mechanism (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Zaidi, Y., & Wright, C. (2021). Environmental analysis and optimisation of an in-orbit shape memory alloy deployment mechanism

This study presents the analysis and optimisation of a novel deployment mechanism that utilises the shape memory effect inherent in Nickel-Titanium alloys, namely Nitinol. The mechanism is currently designed to secure and deploy solar panels on board... Read More about Environmental analysis and optimisation of an in-orbit shape memory alloy deployment mechanism.
