Shape memory alloys (SMA) produce the largest anomalous reversible strains of all
crystalline materials: ε SM< 10% in comparison to ε FM< 1.0% and ε FE< 0.1%(FM …

The SMA was studied for their macroscopic application in dam** for civil engineering. The
study is a synthesis and includes an outline of the models required for the SMA simulation …

In the present study, we investigate pseudoelastic pull–pull cycling of ultra-fine-grained (40
nm) Ni-rich (50.9 at.% Ni) NiTi shape-memory wires at temperatures ranging from 301 to 323 …

Some fatigue phenomena are discussed, which are because of diffusionless transformation
of metastable metallic phases. The following aspects are relevant to high‐cycle fatigue …

Pseudoelastic β1↔ β′ 1 and β1↔ β′ 1+ γ′ 1 cycling in Cu–14.3 Al–4.1 Ni (wt.%) single
crystals were performed. For the β1↔ β′ 1 cycling no evolution of the stress-strain curves …

CuZnAl alloys show pseudoelasticity, shape memory behavior and if adequately treated
also the two way shape memory effect (TWSME), ie, shape change due to the martensitic …

The stress induced martensitic transformations between different metastable phases in Cu–
Al–Be shape-memory alloy single crystals were assessed experimentally. In particular, the …

Vorangegangene Forschungsarbeiten haben gezeigt, dass sich die in der Mikro-und
Ultrapräzisionsmontage geforderten Genauigkeiten nicht mit konventionellen Robotern …

It is well known how the features of a stress–strain hysteresis during pseudoelastic pull–pull
cycling of NiTi evolve: plateau stresses for the forward (loading) and reverse transformation …

The effects of the repeated stress-induced transformation (pseudoelastic fatigue) on the
mechanical behaviour and microstructure of Cu–Zn–Al and Cu–Al–Ni single crystals are …
