| Summary: | The project title was finalised as “prototyping of Shape Memory Polymers for mechanical
Movements” with a detailed brief of “Through the use of 3D printers, the student will create
specific templates for moulding of Shape Memory Polymers (SMPS) for use in mechanical
actuation with a specific interest in hinge design and load displacement”. The project analysed
current technology available through a literature review, demonstrated how the SMP was
produced, designed and analysed. Additionally, a full assembly was designed to accommodate
the SMP hinge within the Velox II Cube satellite which was previously launched by the
Satellite Research Centre (SaRC) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). |
