🔥 Shape-Memory Wire Actuator: Joule Heating, Cooling and Hysteresis (2D bench)
2D bench for a Nitinol shape-memory wire pulling a spring-and-weight load: electrical heating, convective cooling, the austenite fraction with its transformation hysteresis and the resulting stroke, using the same lumped model and constants as the 3D laboratory.
