Abstract

Shape memory alloys are known for their ability to build up large deformations under an applied stress, either in martensitic phase or in the pseudoelastic region.

The electrical resistance of shape memory alloys, traditionally used to define the transformation temperatures, shows interesting features when considering its modification as a function of strain. The electrical resistance in NiTiCu ribbons, obtained by melt spinning, is here examined, either in martensite or in the pseudoelastic range or under a constant applied stress across the transformation range. In each examined case, the results obtained show that the electrical resistance follows a linear relationship as a function of the imprinted strain.
