Abstract: Shape Memory Alloy Hybrid Composites (SMAHCs) are an exciting field of research for their potential to realize the dream of morphing structures. Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) have the possibility to act as actuators and sensors which are integrated into composite structures, enabling new opportunities for designers and engineers. In this work, a finite element model and manufacturing process are used to model and manufacture demonstration SMAHC structures using novel methods. The demonstration case used in finite element modelling reveals 6.4 [%] change in curvature is possible using SMA actuation. The manufacturing fixture is used to demonstrate an electrical isolation scheme which prevents intimate contact of the SMAs with the carbon fibres. This modelling and manufacturing work enables the use commercially available FE tools and composites manufacturing techniques to be leveraged in the implementation of SMAHCs in industry.
