Experimental Study on the Mechanical Properties of Shape Memory Alloy

Abstract:

In this paper, the technology, equipment and method used to m easure the mechanical properties of micro-scale new-style intelligent shape memory alloy material were studied. First, two groups of small-scale shape memory alloy samples were made and the suitable micro load device was designed according to samples’ size and force range. Then the strain of the samples were observed with the video microscopy and calculated. Comparing with the corresponding force, the stress-strain curves of the two groups of samples were obtained respectively. After fitting these two curves, the stress-strain curve of the sample material was obtained. Finally, the basic mechanical properties of this shape memory alloy materials were discussed.
