Abstract
The unique property of martensitic transformations in shape memory alloys (SMA) has prompted many recent attempts to construct adaptive structures and systems with these materials [1]. Most of the applications focus on embedding active elements in conventional structures to achieve certain control, sensing or actuating abilities. A typical configuration involves composites reinforced with shape memory alloy fibers. This setting utilizes the unidirectional transformation properties of the active fiber in corporation with an elastic matrix to harvest the shape memory effects in the axial direction. In this setting, the interaction between the phase transformation and the deformations in the matrix determines the overall mechanical properties of the structure and hence plays a crucial role in the design and analysis of such composites.
