The removal of ice deposits on aerodynamic surfaces is a frequent challenge in aviation, which jeopardises flight safety. On the other hand, ice deposition is also a concern for stationary installations on the ground, such as wind turbines. To solve this problem, especially for modern lightweight construction with fibre composites, a novel de-icing concept is being developed. The concept is based on the working principle of shape memory alloys (SMA). The ring-shaped SMA wire is embedded in an elastomer. The alloy is activated by heat, causing the ring to contract. The contraction thus produced causes the elastomer to bulge. The heat of the thermal activation additionally increases the surface temperature and thus reduces the adhesive strength. By superimposing the mechanical (bulging) and thermal effect (temperature increase), the deposited ice is to be removed more easily and efficiently. If the heating is interrupted, the SMA wire is no longer active and cools down. Due to the spring force of the elastomer, the SMA wire deforms back to its initial position after the phase transformation.The aim of this project is to investigate in detail the concept for a thermo-mechanical de-icing system with regard to functional conformity. The elastomer and SMA must interact harmoniously in the new de-icing principle. This requires the temporal and spatial coupling of thermal and mechanical effects.Due to the unique coupled thermal and mechanical properties, SMA offers a natural hybrid de-icing system. With this project we want to thoroughly investigate the mechanisms that influence performance. This includes the improvement of individual influencing parameters such as the thermal conductivity and stiffness of the elastomer, the increase of the working frequency of the SMA. Furthermore, the new functional models will be investigated under aerodynamic load.

清除空气动力学表面上的冰沉积物是航空领域的一个常见挑战，这危及飞行安全。另一方面，冰沉积也是地面固定装置（例如风力涡轮机）的一个问题。为了解决这个问题，特别是对于采用纤维复合材料的现代轻质结构，一种新颖的除冰概念正在开发中。 该概念基于形状记忆合金（SMA）的工作原理。环形 SMA 线嵌入弹性体中。合金被热激活，导致环收缩。由此产生的收缩导致弹性体膨胀。热活化的热量另外增加了表面温度，从而降低了粘合强度。通过叠加机械效应（膨胀）和热效应（温度升高），可以更轻松、更有效地去除沉积的冰。如果加热中断，SMA 线将不再活动并冷却。由于弹性体的弹簧力，SMA 线在相变后变形回到其初始位置。该项目的目的是详细研究热机械除冰系统在功能一致性方面的概念。在新的除冰原理中，弹性体和 SMA 必须和谐地相互作用。这需要热效应和机械效应的时间和空间耦合。由于独特的耦合热和机械特性，SMA 提供了天然的混合除冰系统。通过这个项目，我们希望彻底研究影响性能的机制。这包括单个影响参数的改进，例如弹性体的导热率和刚度，以及SMA工作频率的增加。此外，新的功能模型将在空气动力载荷下进行研究。
