    1. INTRODUCTION

      NiTi alloys are very famous in recently few years due to large strain setup (8%) into the internal structure in which temperature or heat used as working parameter [5]. They also are applicable in aerospace and biomedical sciences so researchers consistently focusing on bulk production with minimize costing. The actuation is mainly depends upon the set of control conditions of temperature and applied pressure with the quality of materials used. So, synthesis of NiTi vary from alloy thickness to thickness and applied different methods such as vacuum induction melting electrical are melting, HIP (Hot Isostatic Pressing), elementary power sintering, and mechanical alloying[4]. Segregation, gas absorption and crucible contamination absorption methods were old & had conventional problems [1]. In recently years,

      mechanical alloying (MA) technical have been used to reduce the need of precursor materials, control of chemical composition and higher level of porosities. The NiTi compound commonly exhibits two stable phases i.e. B2 austenite phase of high-temperature structure and B19 martensite phase of low-temperature structure. B2 is cubical crystalline structure but B19 is monoclinic crystalline structure. The shape memory behavior were firstly observed in 1932 by Olander in his study of rubber life effect in the samples of gold-cadmium and in 1938 by Greninger & Mooradian in their of brass alloys (copper-zinc). Many years later in 1951 Chang & Read first reported the term shape recovery. They were also working on gold-cadmium alloys. In 1962 William-J-Buebler and his co-workers at naval ordinance laboratory discovered shape memory effect in an alloy of nickel & titanium. Nowadays, these alloys are becoming the point of interest due to the special characteristics such as shape memory effect, super-elasticity, high tensile strength, wear & corrosion resistance etc [2,3]. Ahmed Frikha, Patrice Cartraud, Fabien Treyssède investigated the static behavior of helical structures under axial loads by taking into account their translational invariance and the homogenization theory [6]. Fabien Treyssède, Ahmed Frikha, Patrice Cartraud again focused on mechanical modeling of helical structures accounting for translational invariance in his part two study. The static behavior had been addressed using a helical homogenization approach which provides the stress state corresponding to axial loads [7]. G.Machado, H.Louche, T.Alonso, D.Favier discussed the mechanical super-elastic behavior of NiTi architecture tube-based NiTi materials subjected to quasi- static compression was studied using two simple cellular samples. They assumed that modeling is very useful for designing and optimizing architectured materials. The super-elastic behavior of two simple architecture materials based on identical tubes[8] Amir Sadjadpour and Kaushik Bhattachary suggested constitutive model for shape-memory alloys that builds on ideas generated from the

      micromechanical studies of the underlying microstructure as a rate-dependant one-dimensional thermodynamically consistent constitutive framework for the dynamic behavior of polycrystalline SMAs[9]. Ferdinando, Auricchio and Davide performed experimental tests on superelastic shape-memory alloys (SMAs) show a significant dependence of the stressstrain relationship on the loadingunloading rate, coupled with a not negligible oscillation of the material temperature [10].

      In present work we has used the NiTi wire with a preset conditions as prescribed by the seller and investigation objective to established physical model based on smart helical spring by using the basic electronic components such as registers, capacitors, P-N diodes, transistors, rectifier and also using the electrical components such as sockets, DC supply power, transformers, cables, connectors. This work model can be measure the any helical SMA spring at any predefined condition.

    2. MODEL PREPARATION

The proposed model comprised of the following main sub- parts included as:

    1. Iron-Stand: Iron Stand has been used because it is made of ordinary Iron and easily availability of Iron-pieces in any shape in market or marking college workshop. Further it included following parts:-

      Base plate with vertical column: The base plate has dimensions = 18.2X9.5X0.6 (0.6 cm represents the thickness of plate, 9.5cm represents width, whereas 18.2 cm represent length at which vertical column is welded along length). The hole represents in base plate as M7.9X0.375 (dimensions in mm).

      Fig.1 (Base plate)

      So it is obvious that width of plate = 9.5, the vertical column dimension = 24.4cmX0.5cm whereas 24.5cm represent vertical height of column, 2.4cm represent the width of vertical column and 0.5 cm represent the thickness of vertical column respectively. The base plate also has the threaded hole within itself which is 1.2 cm far away from width side and vertical column is welded near to the edge of plate as possible as by the tungsten arc welding m/c 400Amp. The tolerance of

      ±0.1 mm might be possible, but have no effect of such error. Cylindrical rod (vertical type): It can be seen from Fig 2, the length of rod is = 28+1+1.7 = 30.7, all dimensions are in cm. Here 28 represents the middle portion of rod &. The thread tap dimension up to 0.6 cm for 1 cm length and thread tap dimension up to 1.5cm for 1.7cm length. The diameter of middle portion (m) = 1.2 cm. The dimensions of threaded portion for both sides are M7.9 x1.25 in which outer diameter (t) = 7.9 mm

      Adjustable lower plate with locking: It consists of cylindrical hollow part. The dimensions of cylindrical holow part as: length = 2.7cm, thickness = 0.7 cm, Inner diameter (i) = 1.2 cm, Outer diameter (o) = 1.2+2X0.7 = 2.6 cm.

      Now for rectangular thick part, the dimensions= 11.5X2.5X0.3 (all dimension in cm), the hole dimension of this part include h = 1.2 cm. The tightened hexagonal nut also used with 0.8cm each side and having centralized hole () = 7.9mm such that M7.9×0.375. The allowance of all meshing parts varies from 0.02 to 0.04 for reading taken in mm. And the dimensions of locking plate= 3.5cmX1.9cmX3mm whereas 3 mm represent the

      Fig. 2(Lower plate)

      thickness of it. Threaded screw length = 1.4 cm. The Iron- stand has been made with the help of drilling tool bit and drilling m/c, lathe m/c and its operation, different type of Tap holder & tap bit (threaded type) and application of tungsten arc welding- 400 amp m/c also included.

    2. Load Cell (20 Kg): It is the transducers which convert force or load into electrical signal. The various types of load cells are commercial available in markets such as Beam type, S-Type, Cantilever type, Tension or Compression type, Straight bar type etc[13].

      Fig.3 load-cell (Pt. 1 refers for screws and pt. 2 refers for strain-gauges)

      The straight bar load cell has been applied here; range from 0- 20 kg of pressure (force) and it is single point HT sensor.

      The Conversion of force is achieved by measuring the physical deformation of internal strain gauge. The strain gauge configured in a wheat stone bridge circuit. The strain gauges are present in terms of resistors. The load cell or HT sensor has been used here which was single point type specifications mentioned above in table1.

    3. Temperature Sensor (LM35): A temperature sensor is a device that provides for temperature measurement through an electrical signal. So temperature value measured with respect to volt (V). It is obvious as many types of temperature sensors are available commercially in which few are RTDs, Thermocouples, Thermistors including NTC type and PTC type and semiconductor temperature sensors etc[14]. If we talk about the thermocouple & RTDs in which both are highly used as per their importance and nature of task being performed.

      Fig.4(LM35)

      In present practical work two LM-35 have been used which is very famous due the especial features of operate range 4-20 volts, calibrated directly in Celsius/centigrade and low cost etc. One has been used for open-atmosphere temperature during the reading and other for SMA reading. LM-35 series are precision integrated-circuit temperature sensors and L-35 also called precision centigrade temperature sensors whose output voltage is linearly proportional to the Celsius/centigrade temperature.

      The LM35 has an advantage over linear temperature sensors calibrated in °K, as the user is not required to subtract a large constant voltage from its output to obtain convenient centigrade scaling. The LM-35 does not require any external calibration.

    4. Amplifier Circuit (Operational): The load cell had the attachment with strain gauge measuring kit which is basically amplifier circuit and this kit had setup in the work. It includes the IC7107 in which 0-2000 V digital panel meter using seven-segments display driver circuit as seven light emitting diodes.

      IC 7107: A high performance and low power consuming integrated circuit (IC) 7107 that consists of seven segments decodes, reference voltage source, comparator and display drives as its internal circuiting[12].

      No. of LED in segment = 07, Display = 7 segment drive, No. of pin = 40

      Here the increment of count can be calculated using the formula = 1000 /

    5. DC Supply: The power input in the form of direct current

      has been used in this work for especially the reading of current when DC supply applied to the intelligent helical spring. The unit or component of work measured the voltages in volts on its screen and current in ampere on its screen. It also has the regulator switch in both sides of current & voltage. The coarse & final regulating switch had used to final adequate reading and gradually increasing voltage as per requirement. It includes CV screen & CC screen, CV refers to current voltage & CC for current and Coarse & fine regulating switch, Power button( On/Off switch with side fuse),Voltage

      = 0-15 volt, Current = 0-5amp.Three connecting point as +ve ,

For Stress-values of intelligent helical spring SMA Initially the spring was formed which have dimensions as:

Mean coil Dia = 7.4 mm & Wire dia = 1.0 mm, but fact is that spring deformed axially throughout according to length, so no. of turns & spring index have been changed. This 1.0 mm wire has stiffness value at room temperature, or we can say deformed position of spring in which martensite only stable phase is exist.

In present work the measured value of Initial Vertical length of spring ((Liv) = 2.5cm

Measured increased value of Final Vertical length of spring ((Lfv) = 7.5cm, Mean coil diameter = 7.4

From Table 3, 7.4/10 = 0.74 mm

Spring Index (C) = D/d = 0.74/1.0 = 0.74

Shear stress factor (Ks) = 1 +1/2C = 1 + 1/(2*0.74) = 1 + 0.676 = 1.676

    1. Resultant Stress (rs) calculation:

      We know that experimental helical spring behave like as an compression spring as at applied voltages the currents passes

      throughout wire and try to became full helical spring so forced imparted direction towards the each other or we can say lower end of wire try to move in upper direction and upper end of wire try to move in downward direction. Imaginary resultant stress equations (irs) have been calculated from data mentioned in experimental work based on voltages & spring-loads values of intelligent helical spring SMA.

      From the given Table 3, The Minimum and maximum Spring- load values referred to the forth reading for the 0.80 volts and 10th reading for the 2.00 volts.

      The Imaginary resultant stress (irs) can be calculated as:

      = (8 x Load x Spring Index x Ks ) / ( x d2).. (i)

      Where

      load is denoted by F or W in Newton or kg, Spring Index is denoted by C,

      Shear stress factor is denoted by Ks, Wire dia. is denoted by d

      Mean coil dia. Is denoted by D

      For the Minimum Resultant stress value

      Again from Table 1, applied voltage =0.80volts and correspondingly given value of

      Spring-load value = 427.35 gm = 427.35/1000 kg = 0.42735kg

      Spring Index (C) = 0.74

      Shear stress factor (Ks) = 1.676 Using value equal to 22/7 Wire diameter = 1.0mm

      Here, substituting the values in equation no. (i), we get

      = (8 x Load x Spring Index x Ks) / ( x d2)

      = (8 x 0.42735 x 0.74) / (22/7*1.02)

      = 2.529912/3.142875 = 0.804967 0.805 (v)

      For the Maximum Resultant stress value

      In above mention row, applied voltage =2.0volts and correspondingly given value of

      Spring-load value = 1420.80 gm = 1420.80/1000 kg = 1.4208kg

      Now again considering, Spring Index (C) = 0.74 Shear stress factor (Ks) = 1.676

      Using value equal to 22/7 Wire diameter = 1.0mm

      Here, substituting the values in equation no. (i), we get

      = (8 x Load x Spring Index x Ks) / ( x d2)

      This equation is based on Avg. load relation for Min. value to median value and max. value to median value:

      Let considering,

      Load equation (ZI) = Min. value to median value Load equation (ZII) = Max. value to median value Avg. Load (ZAL) = [(ZI) + (ZII)]/2

      = (0.904x-0.195+0.660x+0.114)/2

      = (1.564x-0.081)/2

      ZAL = 0.782x-0.0405

      Again we can write for one-dimensional deflection

      (Fs) = ZAL = 0.782x-0.0405.(viii)

      Imaginary deflections (X1, X2, .) Experimental calculations used the final length Linitial = 2.5cm = Initial free length of SMA

      Lfinal = 7.5cm = final free length of SMA =Preset length of SMA spring

      Deflection (X1) = Lfinal – Linitial = 7.5 -2.5

      First deflection (X1) = 5.0cm (data included) Linitial = 2.5cm = Initial free length of SMA

      Lfinal = 6.5cm = final free length of SMA =Preset length of SMA spring

      Deflection (X2) = Lfinal – Linitial = 6.5 -2.5

      Second deflection (X2) = 4.0cm (data not included) Deflections =X1=5.0 & X2=4.0 , must be equal to the Height(H) of weight/ load falling according to the gravity in one direction, so we can write

      Height of Falling load(P)= Deflections =X1 or X2(ix)

      (If initial height not considered)

      These above (vii),(viii) &(ix)equations help to find the work done in springs(Ws) which to bear the calculated Load fr , For example, in spring, Work done of single spring(one- dimensional loading only)

      Ws = (Fs).

      Ws = (Fs).

      = (k. ).

      = (k. ).

      = (8 x 1.4208 x 0.74) / (22/7*1.02)

      = 8411136/3.142875 = 2.6762255 2.676 .. (vi)

      (The minimum resultant stress value and maximum resultant stress value were obtained as Imaginary Resultant Stress (rs))

    2. Model Equations

This model equation based on data mention in Experimental work as:

1. First model equation

This equation is based on Avg. load relation for Min. value to max. value or vice-versa:

Let considering,

Load equation (YI) = Min. value to max. value Load equation (YII) = Max. value to min. value Avg. Load (YAL) = [(YI) + (YII)]/2

= (0.749x+0.749x)/2-(0.0.28+0.028)/2

YAl = 0.3745x-0.014

In helical spring, Spring force (Fs) = – k.

If the one-dimensional deflection of spring in which represents the deflection of spring and k represents the spring constant, so we can write

(Fs) = YAl = 0.3745x-0.014(vii)

1. Second model equation

= -1k/2[(initial)2 (final)2]

Work done by two springs (one-dimensional loading)

Ws1 = (k1 + k2).d (for IIrl condition) Ws1 = (1/k1 + 1/k2).d (for series)

For New design of helical spring necessary parameters are d(wire dai.), D(mean coil dia.) and P(load simply knowing k and calculated load (P)= YAl= ZAL. The resultant shear stress also calculated with or without considering the stress concentration in inside fibre of coil.

Above three equations also help to find P.E of falling load(P),

    1. of falling load(P) and also which types of damping of load (P) required during falling (all in one-dimensional loading only).

      CONCLUSIONS

      This Physical model enables the stability of intelligent helical SMA spring by defining the various working parameters before its practical implementing as an actuator. It also enables to the design of single spring or no. of springs based on the SMA. It includes

        load values,, the maximum value to minimum value relationship for applied voltages and spring-load values, the minimum value to median value relationship for applied voltages and spring-load values, the maximum value to Median value relationship for applied voltages and spring-load values as equations iii, iv, v and vi are evaluated.

      2. The model equations are based Imaginary resultant stresses for data available for 1.0mm wire as
