形状記憶合金エンジンの出力特性に関する研究

The purpose of this research is to verify the validity of the rotation mechanism theory of the SMA engine by experiment. The main results obtained by this research are as follows. We drew up the theoretical formula which predicts rotation speed and output power of the SMA engine. We manufactured the large-sized experiment equipment to measure simultaneously rotation speed and torque, and obtained a maximum output power 3.74W. We compared the experiment values of the rotation speed and the torque with the theoretical values, and partially verified the validity of the theory. We drew up the empiric formula which predicts the maximum output power of the SMA engine.
