Abstract

Thermo-mechanical behavior and mechanical properties of intelligent polymer matrix composite with SMA fiber are experimentally studied. It is found that increments of compressive thermal strain is observed as the pre-strain and TiNi volume fraction increase. The smartness of the SMA is given due to the shape memory effect of the TiNi fiber which generates compressive residual stress in the matrix material when heated after being prestrained. In the paper, alloy is based on the general purpose commercial code ANSYS. And for the purpose of easy and fast user's analysis, it is developed the Graphical User Interface by using Tcl/Tk language.
