Abstract
Even it has been already confirmed that SMA’s have high potential for robotic actuators, actuators included in space robotics, underwater robotics, robotics for logistics, safety, as well as “green robotics” (robotics for the environment, energy conservation, sustainable development or agriculture), the number of applications of SMA-based actuators is still quite small, especially in applications in which their large strains, high specific work output and structural integration potential are useful,. The paper presents a formulated mathematical model calculated for binary SMA (Ni-Ti), helpful to estimate the stress distribution along with the transformation ratio of a SMA active ele-ment.

Renewable Energy Deployment as Climate Change Mitigation in Nigeria
The scientific evidence of climate change as a result of greenhouse gas emissions which causes ozone layer depletion is becoming increasingly obvious and clear. Findings revealed that energy from the fossil fuel is the m...
Tests Regarding the Transitory Regimes of Putting off Load of the Hydroagregate
For high power and high revolution aggregates it is required that the operation should take place in safe conditions, for all the running regimes. The most difficult regimes for a hydro aggregate are the transitory regim...
Electrical Field Distribution Analysis on Human Be-ing Placed under High Voltage Lines
The paper presents the interaction between electric field of a high voltage line and the body of a human being placed near the line, for normal situation, when human being is placed on the ground or in accidental situati...
Applying a New Method to the Location of the Machines on a Manufacturing Line
In this article, we started from a case study in which we wanted to de-velop a proprietary design methodology of lower rank production sys-tems, using several softwares. Due to its complexity, the study is trun-cated, ma...
Considerations on Numerical Protections for Induction Motors Connected in MV Industrial Power Systems
The paper presents some considerations on the calculation and adjustment of numerical protections used for induction motors connected in MV (6-10 kV) power systems. It examines the setting for the next protections: overc...
