Full-Field Measurement of Strain and Transformation in Nitinol
Phase shifted moire interferometry is used to measure full-field strain during uniaxial tension and four point bend loading of nitinol test samples. Differences between [...]
FEA of In-Vitro Test Methods for Radial Force Characterization
An overview of the typical in-vitro test methods used to characterize the performance of Nitinol stents is presented. Characterization requires a consistent definition and [...]
Thermoelastic Transformation Behavior of Nitinol
The transformation behavior of Nitinol under uniaxial tension and four-point bending was investigated. A novel sample geometry produced from drawn tubing was used to [...]
