Characterization of a measurement setup for the thermomechanical characterization of curved shape memory alloy actuators

The bend and free recovery (BFR) test according to ASTM F2082 is a standard method to determine the transition temperatures of Nitinol shape memory alloys (SMAs). Unfortunately, this standard method is limited to SMA wires which are straight in its trained shape. Thus, the standard BFR test is not s...
