摘要

Materials with the shape memory effect are able to change their size in response to changes in temperature. In this paper, a transformable rim reflector is considered. For the opening of the reflector, it is proposed to replace the traditional actuator, which uses compression springs to transform and controlled using a cable system, with a force actuator, the active elements of which are made of a material with a shape memory effect. The proposed method allows to select the actuator parameters. The possible mass benefit is estimated.
