Numerical Simulation and Experimental Study of a Simplified Force-Displacement Relationship in Superelastic SMA Helical Springs
This paper proposes a new force-displacement model for superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) springs under complex loading and unloading. For the SMA wires used to make superelastic springs, a new multilinear constitutive model based on a modification of the 1D Motahari model is developed. In the mo...
