Detailed design and life prediction methodology of novel SMA actuated repeatable launch locking protective device (RLLPD) for magnetically suspended flywheel (MSFW)

Zhixiang Rao et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a design of a novel bias shape memory alloy (SMA) actuated repeatable launch locking protective device (RLLPD) for the magnetically suspended flywheel (MSFW) during the launching state. The proposed device consists of two bias SMA-spring actuators for locking/unlocking and triggering, and self-locking blocks are employed to ensure safe locking under the vibration of launching process.
