Thesis (MTech (Mechanical Engineering))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2005 / The working characteristics of a shape memory alloy element providing either sensor or
actuator capability is specified by the beginning and/or completion temperatures of the
actuation (Le. austenitic start and finish temperatures and martensitic start and finish
temperatures), the working actuator stroke (i.e. load induced twinned=:>de-twinned
martensitic phase transformation also known as quasi-plastic deformation), and the
working actuator force (provided by the temperature induced de-twinned
martensite
