Due to their advantageous characteristics, shape memory alloys (SMAs) are prominent representatives in smart materials. They can be used in application fields such as soft robotics, biomimetics, and medicine. Within this work, a fiber-elastomer composite with integrated SMA wire is developed and investigated.

- * Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are key smart materials being applied in various commercial and research settings, requiring effective modeling to maximize their potential; however, existing finite element models have limitations.
- * The study focuses on validating a new SMA material model by Woodworth and Kaliske, which accommodates pre-stretching in irregular geometries, against the Souza and Auricchio model, to improve accuracy in predictive analysis for SMA systems.
Adaptive structures based on fiber-rubber composites with integrated Shape Memory Alloys are promising candidates for active deformation tasks in the fields of soft robotics and human-machine interactions. Solid-body hinges improve the deformation behavior of such composite structures. Textile technology enables the user to develop reinforcement fabrics with tailored properties suited for hinged actuation mechanisms.
