Abstract

We have investigated mechanical behaviors of composite materials containing Ni-Ti shape memory alloy(SMA) wires by performing several experimental methods. In this study, several sample specimens were fabricated in order to perform photo-elasticity tests and impact tests under various test conditions for investigating the mechanical behaviors of the SMA composite materials. From the test results, the shape memory effect of SMA in composite materials can be considered as one of possible ways in controlling crack growth in the materials.
