Transformation Induced Fatigue of Ni-Rich NiTi Shape Memory Alloy Actuators

In this work the transformation induced fatigue of Ni-rich NiTi shape memory alloys (SMAs) was investigated. The aerospace industry is currently considering implementing SMA actuators into new applications. However, before any new applications can be put into production they must first be certified...
