Sn. Bagchi, LOAD-DEFORMATION RESPONSE OF CU-ZN-AL SHAPE-MEMORY ALLOY TO SIMULTANEOUS VARIATION IN TEMPERATURE, Transactions of the Indian Institute of Metals, 47(2-3), 1994, pp. 153-157
Most of the earlier results on load-deformation characterstics of shap
e memory alloys were based on experiments with one parameter fixed, na
mely the temperature. This paper presents the load-deformation behavio
ur of a single phase polycrystalline Cu-Zn-Al shape memory alloy with
simultaneous variation in temperature with a special experimental set
up. Experiments were also carried out to show the behaviour of the all
oy by varying the temperature under constant loads as well as constant
strains.
