摘要
The automotive industry is continuously looking for innovative solutions to improve vehicle aerodynamics and efficiency. The research introduces a significant breakthrough in the field of automotive aerodynamics by employing shape memory alloys as bistable actuators for spoilers and moving flaps. The main novelty of this research lies in the development of a bistable actuator made of shape memory alloys as a precise and accurate control mechanism for spoilers and movable flaps. The shape memory alloys, with their unique ability to maintain two stable configurations and switch rapidly from one to the other in response to thermal or mechanical stimuli, allow precise and rapid adjustment of aerodynamic surfaces. The main advantage of this technology is its ability to improve vehicle aerodynamics by optimising both drag and downforce, thereby improving vehicle performance and fuel efficiency. This research shows the promising potential of a single composition of NiTi as a revolutionary technology in the automotive industry, revolutionising the way spoilers and moving flaps are used to achieve superior vehicle performance.
