Summary/Abstract |
The project A1 is concerned with the behavior of
shape memory materials subjected to cyclic loading.
Considering both structural and functional fatigue,
microstructural processes are studied with repsect to
their effect on the macroscopic mechanical properties.
Experimental approaches (e.g., testing of small
specimens, fracture mechanics, nanoindentation) are
combined with electron microscopy and theoretical
studies.
