| Research Abstract |
Variable geometry truss(VGT) is a typical structural system consisting of a number of length-adjustable truss members. In this study, we deal with this type of mechanical system having a number of shape memory alloy(SMA) wires as its actuators. Kinematical as well as dynamic characteristics of the SMA-wire actuated VGT are studied. The feasibility is also demonstrated through experimental studies with 2D and 3D prototype VGT systems.
