Methodology for the estimation of material damping as applied to superelastic shape memory alloy mini-springs

This work presents an experimental methodology to estimate the material damping of superelastic helical mini-springs fabricated with superelastic shape memory alloys (SMA-SE). Moreover, the methodology provides a relatively inexpensive means for investigating the dynamic thermomechanical behavior of...
