Electro-thermomechanical characterization of Ti-Ni shape memory alloy thin wires

The use of shape memory alloys (SMA) as smart structures and other modern applications require a previous evaluation of its performance under load as well as a training procedure. In general, these requirements lead to the design and assembly of a specific test bench. In this work, an experimental s...
