Fatigue behavior of copper zinc aluminum shape memory alloys

Copper Zinc Aluminum (CuZnAl) shape memory alloys (SMA) are receiving wide attention in recent years ue to applications in smart (adaptive) structures. A stress-induced phase transition occurs in SMAs that causes inelastic deformation and gives rise to an energy-absorbing capacity. Due to this inel...
