Objective
Magnetic Shape Memory (MSM) materials are a new class of smart, or 'adaptive' materials that are changing their shape under the application of external stimuli. They are capable to produce motion and force by altering only the surrounding magnetic field. MSM materials are primarily applied in actuator and sensor technology, but are expected in the future to replace whole machine parts. The materials have been developed in the last few years and offer the potential to revolutionise the whole field of electro-magnetics, as a single material will 'take the role of a machine'. In seeking industrial applications of a highly innovative European invention, this project will lay the foundation to develop a new generation of actuators based upon MSM materials. This will greatly improve upon the performance of existing devices in terms of smaller size, better reliability and less energy consumption, and will spearhead the exploitation of MSM materials across the whole of electro-mechanics and beyond.
