Projects
R&D in the framework of the BMBF financed MSM-Sens project
Project description
We investigate magnetic shape memory alloys focusing on their application in mechanical sensors. The alloys are mainly based on nickel, manganese and gallium, and will be characterized with respect to their thermo-magneto-mechanical properties. Based on the material performance, we will develop, realize and evaluate novel mechanical sensor concepts. The research performed in the framework of the BMBF-funded project MSM Sens (No. 13N10059) successfully demonstrated already the use of NiMnGa alloys in strain and pressure sensing.
