In addition to the shape memory effect, shape memory alloys show two further properties that are useful for mechanical applications: pseudoelasticity and a very high damping capacity compared to other metals. Beside the temperature both characteristics depend on the amplitude and rate of the mechanical load, as well as on the load history. In cyclic tensile tests the mechanical behaviour of binary NiTi‐alloys is investigated in order to make use of them in engineering applications.
