SUMMARY:The School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering Seminar Series, “Introduction to NiTinol. A Tutorial and Design Guide” Presented by Dan Clingman
LOCATION:Engineering Teaching Research Laboratory (ETRL), Pullman, WA
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to NiTinol. A Tutorial and Design Guide\n\nPresented by Dan Clingman, Chief Executive Officer, Piezo Dynamics LLC\n\nAbstract:\n\nNiTinol is a Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) metal that exhibits a solid-state phase change between martensite and an austinite crystal structures.  This phase change provides ether actuation or super elastic behavior. The phase change is driven ether by temperature and stress.  When temperature driven, the material has actuator properties that provide a magnitude higher energy density over other actuator technologies.    The stress driven phase transition provides a super elastic spring with nearly constant force over 8% strain.\n\nDesigning with this alloy is challenging as the material must be conditioned by cold work, heat treatment and training to provide usable properties.  This presentation will describe the process and analysis to develop useable actuation.\n\nPresenter Biography:\n\nDan Clingman is the owner of Piezo Dynamics LLC a product development company that assist companies developing SMA or piezoelectric applications.   He was a Boeing Technical Fellow who oversaw development of smart materials, He authored over 40 patents and many conference papers.   He has BSEE from Washington State University and a MSAE from the University of Mayland.
