  • Abstract
    This paper presents a systematic study on the transformation characteristics of shape memory alloys in a thermal cycle with/without a load. The methods to determine some key material properties are proposed. The expressions for estimating the hysteresis and transformation interval under different types of loads are obtained. The influential factors in real experiments are identified and discussed.
