Experimental and theoretical study on two types of shape memory alloy devices.

This study proposes two types of shape memory alloy (SMA)-based devices, the tension SMA device (TSD) and the scissor SMA device (SSD), for the increase of stiffness. Both devices employ superelastic NiTi wires with a diameter of 1.2 mm. Performance tests to study pseudoelastic behavior of NiTi wire...
