<p>The device has a shape memory device comprising bundles (21, 22) of wire strands made of electrically conductive shape memory material e.g. one-way shape memory material. Each bundle comprises two power supply terminals between which the strands are electrically connected in series and are heated by Joule effect such that power supply of the bundle drives bending deformation effort of the bundle from an intensity value of electric current, passing through the strands, corresponding to heating of the strands beyond transformation temperature. An independent claim is also included for a space system comprising an articulation device.</p> |
