Abstract: An approach to infer mechanical properties of shape memory alloys (SMAs) from instrumented spherical indentation records of indenter tip loading force, P, versus the resultant indentation depth, h, during indentation loading ...

Abstract: A finite element analysis of quasistatic, steadystate crack growth in pseudoelastic shape memory alloys is carried out for plane strain, mode I loading. The crack is assumed to propagate at a critical level of the cracktip ...

Abstract: A finite element analysis of steadystate crack growth in pseudoelastic shape memory alloys under the assumption of adiabatic conditions is carried out for plane strain, mode I loading. The crack is assumed to propagate at ...
