Impact Damage Resistance of Shape Memory Alloy Hybrid Composite Structures
The strain energy absorption of shape memory alloy (SMA) bars and beams under tension and bending loading was studied. A theoretical model is presented that can give quantitative relations between the martensite fraction, the applied load, and the strain energy absorbed in the shape memory alloy (SM...
