Abstract
A finite element (FE) simulation of an active needle actuated by a nitinol shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator designed in our previous studies [1,2] has been performed for application in needle-based procedures like biopsy, brachytherapy, and tissue ablation. The simulation predicts the active needle deflection in liver and prostate tissue by applying a thermomechanical material model for the SMA actuator and needle tissue interaction forces using commercial FE software.
