Abstract

The magnetically controlled Shape Memory alloy (MSMA) is a new type of intelligent materials, which has large strain and high efficiency of electromechanical energy conversion, but at this time it is not actually used as actuators. So in this paper we mainly expounded the working principle of MSMA actuator and completed magnetic field analysis of it based on ANSYS. The paper provides reference for the structure design and material selection for MSMA actuator; meanwhile, it accelerates the MSMA actuator design process.
