| Summary: | Even it has been recognized that Shape Memory Alloys have a
significant potential for deployment actuators, the number of
applications of SMA-based actuators to the present day is still quite
small, due to the need of deep understanding of the thermomechanical
behavior of SMA. SMAs offer attractive potentials such as: reversible
strains of several percent, generation of high recovery stresses and
high power / weight ratios. This paper tries to provide an overview of
the shape memory functions. A table with property values for different
properties of shape memory alloys is also included |
