Abstract:Standard caloric measurements on Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are usually carried out with the specimen in a state free of stress, by means of standard calorimeters. However, in its every application, the material is subjected to some load, being therefore necessary to investigate the influence of loading on the caloric behavior of SMAs, in order to take this into account when modeling their thermodynamic behavior. The present work investigates the influence of loading on the heat of transformation in SMAs. Expe… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
