Thanks for the link. The information was indeed useful. If we fix the bending actuator strain as say 5%, how can we practically control the bend diameter. In other words, how can we measure practically during experiments the bend diameter?
Advance thanks
Thanks for the reply. Then in larger diameter nitinol wire in bending, where can we consider the maximum strain
1. strain at the outer bending radius(tension) (or)
2. strain at the inner bending raius (compression)....
thanks in advance
Actually i bought an educational kit which contains some SMA paper clamps, some Tension, compression springs, SMA wires , Superelastic tube , wires and rods. I want to do some experiments to determine the basic characteristics of the material. Please help me out regarding what experiments can...
I came across that 8% strain in nitinol is applicable in tension, compression, and shear.
Is the 8% strain in tension of nitinol wire is same for all wire diameters? and how diameter of wire can affect its strain properties ?
Advance Thanks
Thanks man.but i'm able to come across detailed information on strain for nitinol components. for wire strain refers to change inlength. what does it mean in case of bent nitinol rod or a nitinol coupling where the original diameter is recovered by heating
What does Max.Strain in nitinol mean in
1. Bending (superelastic)
2. nitinol spring (shape memory)
3. tension (superelastic and shape memory
Advance thanks
Can anyone please suggest detailed method to calculate stud preload force for the following stud..
Dia.- 5/8" -11 UNC - 2A
Length - 3.1/4"
Material - ASME A 193 Gr.B7
and nut is
5/8"-11 UNC-2B Gr.2H
ASME A194 Gr.2H
this stud is used in valves.
THANX IN ADVANCE
