our Institute (selection):

At our institute we mainly deal with NiTi, CuAlNi and CuZnAl shape memory alloys (see also crystallography) with different cross-sections.

The following figures show a small selection of curves obtained in experiments:

The above figure demonstrates the deformation-temperature-behaviour of a NiTiCu-strip for different constant loads. An increasing load leads to higher transition temperatures.

This figure shows the temperature-sensitive resistance at different loads for the above mentioned specimen.
