Abstract
Bi-directional environmentally responsive composites composed of Ti-Ni alloy effecters and Room Temperature Vulcanization resin were created in order to investigate the temperature response of the materials. Th ree types of specimens-tension/compression type, flexure type and tors ion type-were fabricated and tested. Environmental responsiveness was defined as the responsiveness rate and recovery rate corresponding to the change of environmental temperatures. Numerical results were satis factory.
