− A new type of actuator is presented where Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wires are embedded within artificial “blood vessels.” Fluid flowing through vessels allows the SMA wires ...
In this paper, a finishing system with a mounted abrasive tool is proposed for finishing of metallic molds. The shape of the mounted abrasive tool is a ball-end type. When a metal...
