Dynamic Modeling and Simulation of a Shape Memory Alloy Cooling Device

by Kaelea Hayes

Elastocaloric devices have the potential to reduce carbon emissions from cooling systems. Using Simulink and MATLAB, a model of a shape memory alloy cooling device can be created and tuned with data from real thermal testing. This model can be used to guide decisions in the device design process.
