Tensile strain at the outer radius and compressive strain at the inner radius should be the same. Check out this link I found pertaining to NiTi wires: http://www.sma-inc.com/html/surface_strains.html
Just a note- strain recovery is a material property, so in tension each wire diameter should behave the same. But if you want the pieces to change shape in a bending fashion, size is an issue. A thicker wire will not be able to recover after deforming around the same bending radius as a...
Hi everybody,
I need to produce some partially sintered ceramic pellets consisting of about 90%ZrC-10%Al4C3. Both powders are -325mesh. Basically I just want necking to begin so that I can handle them without breaking them. They will later be infiltrated with a liquid metal, so they need to...
