Thermomechanical characterization of plastic deformation and transformation fatigue in shape memory alloys /

Presented in this research is the photomechanical characterization of plastic deformation and thermal transformation fatigue in NiTi based Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs). Experiments are performed on specimens of 50at%Ni-50at%Ti and 50at%Ni- 40at%Ti-10at%Cu. First, the effect non-proportional loading on...
