Prestressing Concrete with Shape Memory Alloy Fibers
… members. During the last decade, shape memory alloys (SMA) have become more prevalent in engineering and civil engineering applications. The shape memory effect refers to the contraction of the SMA when it is heated to its austenite phase. When a prestrain is induced in the SMA, it can be …

Impact failure modes of graphite epoxy composites with embedded superelastic nitinol
… fractions of embedded superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) fibers. Graphite/Bismaleimide laminates were embedded with 3% and 6% volume fractions of superelastic nitinol fibers. Quasi-static tests were performed on wide clamped-clamped beams to identify progressive damage mechanisms. Low velocity …
