Experimental and numerical investigation of thermomechanical cycling of notched NiTi shape memory ribbon using SMA model accounting for plastic deformation

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are being increasingly applied as thermally driven actuators. The commercially available SMA elements, however, frequently contain stress risers, either due to internal or surface defects or due to the required component shape. Stress risers represent a potential danger fo...
