Abstract
The fatigue behaviour of NiTi wire has been studied. It was found that NiTi wires trained with constant strain could show different fatigue behaviour, depending on the temperature range of training and the temperature range of fatigue. A mechanism for the thermal fatigue behaviour of NiTi is suggested according to the experimental results.
