Evolution of the martensitic transformation in shape memory alloys under high strain rates

The specific properties of the shape memory alloys are mainly due to the martensitic transformation occuring in the material when mechanical or thermal loadings are applied. Here, the effect of strain rate on the transformation on an NiTi SMA is studied in tension. Different tests were performed at...
