The proposed collaborative research and development project, between the University of Waterloo and Smarter Alloys Inc., aims to bridge the gap between shape memory alloy (SMA) research and their implementation in automotive applications. In past research and development initiatives, Smarter Alloys Inc. showed that their novel multiple memory material (MMM) SMA processing technology overcame design challenges that previously retarded the application of SMA actuators in the automotive industry. In this project remaining challenges will be addressed such as, developing a robust control system for MMM processed SMA actuators, processing high phase transformation temperature NiTi alloys, and improving cyclic performance. The successful completion of this project will result in a working underhood SMA automotive belt tensioner prototype, demonstrating enhanced performance provided by the MMM technology. The engineering knowledge and expertise developed in this project will be immediately transferable to other automotive applications and even different industries such as, aerospace, medical, and micro-electronics industries who already utilize traditional SMA technologies.

滑铁卢大学和Smarter Alloys Inc.之间拟议的合作研发项目，旨在弥合形状记忆合金（SMA）研究与其在汽车应用中的实施之间的差距。在过去的研究和开发活动中，Smarter Alloys Inc.表明他们的新型多记忆材料（MMM）SMA加工技术克服了以前阻碍SMA致动器在汽车行业应用的设计挑战。在该项目中，将解决剩余的挑战，如，开发一个强大的控制系统MMM加工SMA执行器，处理高相变温度NiTi合金，并提高循环性能。该项目的成功完成将产生一个工作的发动机罩下SMA汽车皮带张紧器原型，展示MMM技术提供的增强性能。该项目中开发的工程知识和专业知识将立即转移到其他汽车应用，甚至不同的行业，例如已经使用传统SMA技术的航空航天、医疗和微电子行业。
