Abstract :

Functionally graded shape memory alloys have the advantage of joning the properties of shape memory materials and those of functionally graded structures. By proper material and structural design, they can exhibit new and complex thermomechanical behaviour that are different from uniform shape memory alloys. One of their advantages is their expanded transformation stress and temperature windows which provide improved controllability in actuating application. This study reports on the general concept, fabrication, experimentation and modelling of several designs of functionally graded NiTi alloys, including compositionally graded, microstructurally graded and geometrically graded NiTi structures, and the various techniques that may be used to create them.
