New data are reported which show that the cycles to failure for NiTi are related exponentially to cyclic strain extent (difference between maximum and minimum cyclic strain) to at least 2×105 cycles. The relationship is apparently insensitive to thermodynamic cycle type or to stress/strain mode, but does show strong dependence on the NiTi martensite transition temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
