The effect of temperature on low-cycle fatigue of shape memory alloy

Volodymyr Iasnii, Petro Yasniy, Denys Baran, Anna Rudawska

The influence of temperature on the fatigue properties of pseudoelastic NiTi under low-cycle fatigue are investigated. Tests were performed under the uniaxial tensile deformation (pull-pull) at 0°С and 20°С which is above the austenite…
