Calculation and consequence of designing the power drives from materials with shape memory for deforming and testing devices

Development of deforming and testing devices with power drive from the material with shape memory demands implementing a specified consequence of steps at its designing and calculating. A necessary consequence of designing and calculating a separate power element, as well as a whole power drive on the base of the obtained experience in developing such equipment is represented in this work. All designing and calculating stages of the power drive from a shape choice and size of a power element to the needed parameters (deformation, power and thermal parameters) are considered. A special attention is paid to the parameters› interconnection for providing a necessary operation efficiency of the power drives.
