Abstract

In this paper, a novel micro assembly method using Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) is investigated. The principle of this method and its advantages are briefly discussed. A finite element package, ANSYS, is used to simulate the whole assembly process. A special material element is used for modeling the behavior of SMA.
