Flexinol properties study

This article contains study concerning flexinol wire’s contraction time and length. During the research, to stimulate the wire, a modulated PWM signal was used. Changes in PWM duty cycles were causing greater heat accumulation which led to faster structural transformation of the wire and in result different contraction times and lengths. The research stand and control system that were used to stimulate the flexinol wire (regulated PWM wave stimulation) and measure its contraction times, and lengths, were also described in this article.
